I’m not sure if their contract strictly prohibits it, but they had never seen a pairing that includes an 11 hour day sleep followed by one, let alone two legs that evening. It’s interesting that EWR doesn’t see many redeyes, but it would be nice to see something in a TA that limits day sleeps. But that would probably force more redeyes into the east coast pairings.
