I think this is a blue collar dream.
(retired now ... but .. ) If I (when younger) could work 3/15's, I could sleep most of the 4th and cruise comfortably for 3.
I'm retired from trucking, so weird hours is (still .. damn!) part of the job.

I had a job in the past that was 4 tens and that was nice. Not sure I personally would want any few days with longer hours than that. Working till 70 most can probably do, but to 75 would really depend on health and the job that person does.

I would prefer four 10-hour days and a 3 day weekend. On a day to day basis, I'm not productive after about 10 hours. Depending on the type of work done and other businesses that have to be worked with, there would also be the possibility of rotating M-W to T-F every other week, so you would have two short 2-day weekends and two long 4-day weekends every month.
Curiously, it was the government and unions that killed the idea of working standard shifts longer than 8 hours.
Unions hate flex time, because it reduces overtime.
