Damn brutal and only worth around 19 hours since it's three duty periods.
I know exactly the trips you’re talking about and you need to be filing a fatigue report on each one. Even if you aren’t calling in fatigued you can file an informational. That last day is an accident waiting to happen. One leg from the NE early that morning to Florida is one thing but the kicker turn to the Caribbean is begging for fatal mistakes to be made.
