You have to remember that not all 3am departures are equal. A one-leg, am launch followed by a nice layover is easy… where multi-leg, night hub-turning can be brutal. There is in fact so much variety here that it would be hard to tell you what’s normal. You will undoubtedly work in the night WOCL, it’s what we do… but the extent of which depends on your other priorities such as days off, commutability etc. And everyone has different priorities which makes it all work.

All that being said, the trend here recently is higher productively at the expense of recuperative rest opportunities, so caveat emptor.
