Sounds top-heavy to me.

Sounds sensible to me. It would be intreresting to hear any anecdotes about the place.

I think "continuous copyflow's" unavoidable. Right now we have a 3-12p copy desk with a 6-2a. Web site. The bosses looked suprised when I meekly suggested that the shifts are going to have to be rejiggered to match when we're actually publishing copy. What's it going to take for papers to realize they're making more, not less work for copy editors?!?
