some people don't live in the US but do have families
50% of us are flying out saturday to be there for sunday all day meetings, flying eastwards on friday, to get back mid day saturday, we lose 2 weekends. compare this to intra-US flite to and from, i don';t think esxtending friday is sustainable. we don't have that much more work, we need better scheduling is all in fact, there;s lots of evidence that work is done BETTER when time available for it is reduced..esp. when particpants re jetlagged. tired working groups make tired decisions. like driving, this can be dangerous... j.
