I can go the the gym or go outside to get my cardio. I can DoorDash dinner if the hotel restaurant stinks. Give me a late start on day 1 and an early finish on the last day with short overnights and I’m perfectly happy.
Commutable trips can start late day 1. Have 30hr layover somewhere and finish early.
12 hr overnights get tiring soon. Specially during summer, but I guess you might not want to workout or eat good.
As I get older the less I want to work. I still remember when I was a new hire in NY 320… 1-2-2-0-1 leg five days, all commutable without redeyes. 26hr pay for 15-16hrs of block. Oh yeah also at $80/hr I was very very happy slacker FO.
Then Covid happened and I would say after 5 years, it seem the rotations are getting a tad better this year.
