I looked at a United 787 bid pack. It looks way more chill then one of our absurd AM or PM lines. One leg from DEN-FRA is less time on the flight deck than one of my normal duty days on the 737. I just finished a 4 leg a day, 3 day that was all max duty with 4AM lobbies. I doubt there is heavy flying that is much harder than that. Im sure there is a reason heavy flying is more senior than narrow body captain.
