I still don’t know why we are giving anything up. Isn’t PBS enough?
We used to have a lot of LAS pairings that were 3 days worth 13:30. Redeye to the east coast, 22:30 layover, one leg back the next AM. Those went away because they figured out they could turn them into 18 hour 4 days with 17:50 block. More efficient for them. Now they will be worth 10 hours. (2 duty periods, just under 10 block) I'm sure they will show up again and you will see a lot of 22-23 hour layovers where you go to the hotel at 7 am and have to try to grab 2 nights sleep in 23 hours.
Why in the world they caved on that I will never know. That in itself will be a huge QOL hit, not only because of the bad sleep schedule, but because it'll take you 6 calendar days to net 20 hours of pay. I hope you have a crash pad. You will see it a lot.
