I have given that some thought but so far have opted for the early out of MSP as it is one less night away from home. Still beats the hell out of riding a 75 with a west coast stop. I generally leave a day early so have a day in HI before I start my trip sequence. (The intercontinental biz jet I fly is sometimes booked solid flying around the western US and/or pacific and since we are limited in flight time by FAR, it is less expensive to swap crews than move the airplane back to base.)
