<<whether it would be better to give more work to 2 guys who are arriving after spending a night out of bed, coming from a timezone 6 hours away, perhaps snatching an hour of sleep in the seat, then staring at the rising sun for 3 hours. >>

Dear Lord... I've bitten my tongue on thousands of occasions through loyalty to my pilot friends but I now have to say it - if I hear ONE more thing about pilots' workloads I'm going to be very seriously sick.

<<(More seriously, the GS could act as coordinator to keep FIN's workload manageable).>>

Written by someone with little knoiwledge of how the system works. For one thing, the GS may not have a validation for the sector. How would you like an unqualified person leaning over your shoulder telling you how to fly your aeroplane? And just how could a second person make the Final Director's workload manageable without getting in his way?
