I think I remember seeing something like that in the Tumi TA as well as open items in the latest negotiating notes about unaugmented night flying override. I realize we are a relatively heavy redeye airline, so someone has to fly them. At least we could get a little more money for them (might entice those more senior to fly some redeyes) or at least not roll into a day sleep followed by a few 11-12 hour overnights. The pairings that trickle down to the junior pilots and those on reserve are pretty brutal. Couple that with forcing 89 hour lines and we’ll be a pretty fatigued pilot group this summer with tons of unfilled vacancies.

Thanks to the Delta guys who chimed in on the day sleeps. Like it is here, I’m sure it’s pretty base specific on what pairings look like. At least you guys get some suffering and maybe we’ll be able to set at least something Industry leading…
