Oh yea, our QOL is so much better now! Heck, just look at the LAS pairings for next month!!
There are pairings out there with THREE legs followed by a REDEYE on the same night! That's right, report around 1720L Vegas time, fly three legs, then fly a redeye across the country, and get released at 0620L the next morning! Ouch!!
There are numerous other pairings with three legs on a redeye shift! And, the best part? They're all legal!
I thought the intent of improved scheduling language in the new contract was to eliminate this kind of stuff? But hey, think of all the per diem and 'night premium pay' we're gonna rack up!
