Completely different industry (diesel mechanic at a power plant) but this is the kind of schedule my father has worked for years. It works especially nicely, since his company staggers the coverage so that one works Mon-Thurs, then Tues-Friday, so that you get a four-day weekend every other week. Of course, this is an industrial outfit, so they are more used to unconventional schedules due to the demands of rotating shifts for the operators. You can actually get something done, with four days off. Two days is just barely enough to take care of the essentials and recover before its time to go back to work.
