You will be away from home 18 to 19 days per month depending if you commute once or twice. Day night swapping point to point round Robbin routes. The most miserable existence in the industry right now.
Agreed. Not uncommon at all - 17 day trip to have 5-7 red eyes. 24 hours off ( worst rest possible ) couple hub turns, red eyes. Oh and the odd PSM-HHN turn for good measure. That's not fatiguing at all.
24 hours in Hawaii- sure. Arrive at midnight exhausted. Sleep till 9-10. Wake up, grab lunch. Maybe walk around, back to work.
Come on over and see for yourself.
BTW- every single airline, including the RJ's pay more 😂😂😂
