Leave your category and go to NY 320 or 737. I’m sure you’ll appreciate your 26hr layovers.
So yes, we need more 26-30hrs overnights. More productivity means more legs, longer duty periods, posible extensions, less time in the overnights.
24+ hr overnights = more commutable trips, fly 15-18hrs in 5 days and get payed 26. This summer, most of my rotations were equal on credit/block time. It sucks and I’m still burned from the summer flying. My monthly lines were 17 days off and the amount of reroute and shenanigans were over the line.
I think you should change the way you bid, leave those overnights to the people that really appreciate them.
