It isn't the Holy Grail but it's much more stable than most. People like Vokes who left 3 years ago when the company wasn't what it is now, may see no benefit in a 5/4 because they're presumably free of many domestic responsibilities. For many of us with families, a 5/4 is very useful when determining childcare requirements and school drop offs etc for months in advance. Sure, when you're young and free, a busy summer where you'd be home 4 out of 14 days and a winter where you hardly ever fly and instead get to go skiing regularly, is all you need.
