PDR, you do know that resorting to personal insults is generally considered evidence that you're loosing the debate?
Boeing has been something of leader in the area of alternate work schedules - particularly for the white collar workers. They started this during the 777 development when they discovered the heavy use of CATIA was overwhelming their mainframe computing capabilities - so they started having the designers work alternate schedules to spread out the computer demand. This ultimately proved popular with the workers - plus it got Boeing bonus points from the traffic planners for spreading out peak commuting traffic (and the Seattle area has some of the worst traffic in the US).
Personally, I spent most my last 20 years at Boeing working an alternate work schedule.
