Flying the regular bid packet trips on narrowbodies is terrible now. I don't see how anyone can really say..."This will be a fun 12 hour day and a nice 10 hour layover to recover." I feel sorry for junior/mid-pack guys flying these trips every week.
Actually I’ve heard they are starting to go up recently as people are finally fed up with it. Again, if you need to call in, call in. Don’t fly fatigued when your ticket is one the line, not the companies.
