In your first year or so, yeah plan on flying a couple of red eyes a month depending on your “RAP” but after that they’re pretty easy to avoid. At 4 yrs in, I haven’t flown one in well over a year and that was only because it fit my scheduling needs.
It’s amazing how fast people become accustomed to 50% or greater seniority in base.
Nearly every one of my trips has a segment in the WOCL. If I bid for certain days off it just gets worse.
At 4 years in you have experienced the most rapid seniority movement in the last 20 years at AS. A crew grabbed an airplane from us and cringed when we told them we wouldn’t get any BBQ in town because our van was at 4:30am. 2:30am Seattle time... The FO had probably missed that trip mix altogether because of pure, dumb luck.
