I agree that he needs to spend time with DC but could the focus be on quality time rather than quantity? My dad worked very long hours (emergency doctor – crazy hours and overtime) when I was a child but I have a lot of good memories. On his spare weekends we would spend a lot of time as a family on outings – like going to national parks, the zoo , etc. Could you come to a compromise? I.e. he gets more alone time during the week and in return weekends are strictly for family.

OP here.  I would prefer that he get more alone time on the weekends (the few that he isn't working per month) and less during the week.  What DC wants/needs is more one-on-one interactive time playing with DH in the evenings.  On the weekends we are busy with DC's sports activities (DH and I each take him to one activity while the other has alone time).  In addition, I often give DH some extra alone time and take DC to meet up with my friends and their kids to do something fun (zoo, playground, brunch, etc.)  DH rarely wants to participate in these kinds of things so he is happy to stay home and do yardwork.  The weekend is when I have my social time with friends with kids.  We do things all together about once per weekend (when DH is home).  [/quote]
