I used to be like that. I wanted extremely productive trips, where you fly hard, short overnight, and then grind it out hard again to maximize days off. I thought the senior guys wanting good layovers were nuts. Now that I’m senior and the kids are out of the house, I’ve turned into one of them. I still don’t care where the layover is, but I just want an easy trip where I have the opportunity for a good workout, a nice meal, followed by a good night sleep. Avoiding more than 2 legs per day, sit time over 2 hours, and duty from 2300-0600 local base time makes for some pretty easy trips. They’re not nearly as productive as what could be held, but I feel much better during and after a trip.
