It is not like our 13.5 hours 4 day trips are that awesome either. Yes, it is a 3 day with a red eye but it will knock me out for 4 days. So in my book that is a 4 day.
It is one thing that our rates are way below. (Not to mention we are flying 30% more people per plane.)
It is another that under normal circumstances, i.e. not whoring and trying to get MUP or 200%, you are happy if you get above 75-80 hours and still have 15 days off.
I am sick and tired of sitting 20 hours or more in hotels in crew bases. Every f in trip. DFW, LAS, ORD layovers. Give me a f in break!!!
