Ah, that is a problem for Operations! :P
But honestly, when I was first learning to fly, it was a difficult thing to get used to. Like most pilots back then, I got one of those watches with two faces and set one (usually the primary/largest one) to UTC. After getting used to dealing purely in UTC for a while, I was amazed that more people didn't do it.
I stopped looking at time as being defined by the position of the sun, but as a reference datum. If a colleague called out "See you at the pub at oh-two hundred hours", I never thought "2 in the morning??" but rather "Oh, that is 1 hour and 45 minutes from now - cool!".
