No, it isn't.

Less than 10% of the ORD 737 flying for October has a red-eye leg. LAX and SFO has a lot more. East coast hubs, less. It's been over two years since I flew a red-eye that I didn't trade into.

I spent 15 years flying night freight. Even when I do fly a red-eye at UAL, it is so much easier. One catered leg then off to the hotel.

Night freight isn't bad when you're 30 because it's relatively easy to sleep all day. By the time you're 45 you're waking up early afternoon and unable to get back to sleep.
