Anyone care to chime in with what they consider the most challenging pairings on the different aircraft types?

I went to a job fair a while back, one of the recruiters was like, "are you sure you want this job?? Do you know how rough our schedules are?!?"
I'm at one of the ULCCs where we do some pretty nutty red-eye work. I frequently wonder how much worse it could possibly be flying boxes.... At least there would be quieter; no medical emergencies or drunken brawls in the back of the plane.

Thanks!
The “mean” ugly pairing is leave the hotel about 7pm central time fly two legs into a hub take a 1.5 to 3 hour break and leave the hub about 4am with one leg to a hotel, 11 hours in the rack, and repeat 3 or 4 times a week. 4-6 hours of block for 6 hours of pay. The good news is you will never ever leave the hotel late because of a Flight attendant.

Again these are the ugly pairings.
