Even worse when you’ve got a 4 leg day following the 30 hour layover so the next layover is in the 12-14 range not 16-18.
My biggest issue with 30 hr layovers is the body clock swap. It screws with me quite a bit. One of the few nice things about 717 trip construction is that you most trips are am flying or pm flying, which is a nice perk as it does wonders for fatigue/sleep. I get commuters loving the late report/early release, but it doesn't do good things for sleep. I prefer to avoid it all and just do day trips.
