How do you schedule across Chicago and Dubai?
Scheduling between Chicago and Dubai is hard. Their standard business hours do not overlap on the same day, with the smallest gap running 1 hour between Dubai closing at 17:00 local and Chicago opening at 09:00 local. Practical bridging slots: an early Chicago start at 08:00 (catching Dubai just at close, 17:00), or a late Dubai call at 18:00 (catching Chicago at opening, 09:00).
