I don't know if I would call it stressful, and I'm a Delta guy on the 75/76 too...I commute from ORD-DTW and bid 3-4 day trips, mostly domestic, and I'm fine during the trip but when I walk in the door after a 4 day trip....I am wiped out!
I'm 44 years old, I've been here for 15 years, minus the 3 year furlough, and it takes a solid 24 hours at home before I get my energy back. I don't feel stressed out at work, there isn't a risk right now of getting fired or furloughed again, it is a fun job and I enjoy doing what I do....but it has to be taking a toll on us. I'm sure the commute doesn't help but it is a pretty easy commute.
I wouldn't call it a stressful job but a 4 day trip with a red eye on day 4 ending on the 5th morning hands my a$$ to me.
