Meanwhile on the 330 there's Taipei, 10 hours in the air and departing at 1AM, or the "midnight madness" Vegas 1:55am departure, and lets not forget the famous LAX turns where the FO operates both legs (and usually doesn't get either landing) while captains take turns in the back!
But compared to what I did before, it's still good! In ACMI freight, the typical trip was back side of the clock and 18+ hour days...
Just didn't want to leave people with the impression that we don't have our share of back side of the clock flying here... Koolaid is good, but only in moderation.
