That "1 easy leg" day is uncommon today unless its a broken trip. Where they do exist, it leads days 1-3 or 2-4 being flown to the max, duty days long, layovers short. You want a long layover? You'll make-up for it on every other duty period. We already are at the point where it's dinner, workout, full night sleep...pick 2.
The irony of saying I don't want to work more with higher pay per duty, while then having to work 2 extra days a month [14 vs 12 to equal 72hrs] = 24 duty days annually, or almost 2 extra bid months each year. I know you all say "trips will be worse"... they suck already. At least make duty rigs 1:5 and add a smaller MDG.
