So buyer beware, there is a downside to advocating for it.
Honestly at this point it's worth the risk. Those trips have gotten so brutal on the days you're flying that you can't even enjoy your day off. You're either recovering from getting slammed or resting up for the marathon that lies ahead, not to mention the clock flip. I had a 5 day last month with a 29 hr layover on day 2 and it was probably the most tiring trip I've had so far this year - 25:57 of block over the other 4 days
