These sucked and they were brutal on the body. Basically landing and walking through the airport like a zombie on day three.
Standard NK LAS 4-day trip: PM Red-eye to the east coast. 22hr layover. AM, 1 leg to LAX/PDX/OAK (both of those are nigh duty). 22hr layover. Last day, AM, 2/3 legs back to LAS. 70hr TAFB, 20hr credit, 12/15 hr block, 4/5 legs, commutable both ends. As long as you can handle the flip-flop, they are great trips. If you can't sleep twice and be awake once in 22 hours you are not going to like it.....
