A 10 hour time difference lets you do something like: 10am - 10pm [on call] for US West. 7am - 7pm [on call] for EU [UTC +1] 4 days on / 3 days off. [48 hr on call, 40 hours of work] Its doable. Just expensive to cover 2 jurisdictions and maintain 4 shifts worth of people. No system is ever going to be 100% reliable and cost effective.

You're right, totally doable. I should have said 24/7 for the price of 8/5 is going away.

Yep, and paying for 8/5 and getting 24/7 is unreasonable. ;)
