Back side of the clock flying and week long pairings, and the trips to the sim for landing currency. Most guys that love to fly, love the takeoffs and landings. Of course some days on narrow body aircraft are ridiculous and exhausting with legs in excess of 3 or 4, and my own experience is solely narrow body flying so I'll be interested if anyone with a few years on a widebody fleet would provide some better insight.
