He'd be crazy senior in the bid status. But why??? Part of the reason is NE based Caribbean flying is often early/lates - fly out early on day 1, return late on day 2. Or turns. Both are death for commuters. Two on two off? You'd get home the morning of your first day off and go back out in the late afternoon of your second day off.

But it can also be useful if you're super senior. Build 3 and 4 turns back to back. Four day 'trips' can be 25-30 hrs (at least in the past). So you'd go up late Sunday, fly M/T/W/R, and come back early on Friday. Or do 3 turns back to back. 18-21 hr trips. Leave late on Monday, fly T/W/R, commute home on Friday AM. Crashpad between trips. Or......at the top 10% seniority, bid 3 day trips paying 18 hrs and stay in a decent hotel vs a crash pad.

Lots of options that his pretty senior n/b status can create.
