Think about what might be different in scheduling pilots verses flight attendants.
Hint: They have worse work rules and are qualified on all equipment.
As far as 5 day trips Delta did not do them. Post merger with NWA they eliminated them in the NWA bases. Huge complaints from pilots so they brought them back because we asked for them. Be careful what you ask for!
