Ask some of the older guys how some of the 1 leg duty days were before ADG was a thing. IMO it will always be better to have a pick of how efficient you want your trips rather than force everyone into optimized garbage. We're seeing some of this now.
I hear this all the time, but we already have multiple 10 plus hr duty days. Not much will change, and if they squeeze more flying in, it would quickly be fatiguing. I call BS on this. This was a talking point from super sr guys when schedules werent as bad as they are now. ATL 320, you can guarantee a 3 day is always 3/2/3, and 2 day is 3/3. Not sure what else you can do to make those worse.
