Not really. DEN-ATL yeah... But if a flight now is currently at 9pm, seeing it at midnight will most likely be worse, especially if it isn't a west coast - east coast flight. For instance ATL-EWR at 10pm is already about a 50% load, I can't imagine it at midnight instead. LGA and other airports have curfews.
In a perfect world, I wouldn't want min day, because the company wouldn't try to screw us at every chance they get and would make efficient trips for us. But here we are. So yeah, min day is huge on my list.
But this all begs the question, WHY are so few of our trips efficient. We barely have any 3 leg days with over 7-8hrs. 2 days that are over 12hrs. 3 days over 20hrs. 4 days over 25hrs. Company would rather have us fly 2 legs in 3 days and overnight us for 30hrs that do ANY other flying in those windows.
