NK out of LAS. All I did as a junior captain for the first year was 4 day trips, day 1 commute to work, red-eye to FLL, day sleep, red-eye night turn to central America, day sleep, red-eye turn to central America, day sleep, late flight to LAS, red-eye commute home, take care of the kids for 3 days while my partner is on a 3 day, and do it again. Not complaining. Just think that is harder than most cargo long trip schedules.
That sounds awful. Just because that’s “all you did”, doesn’t mean it was safe.
