I did it in my 20s and thats exactly what happened. Now id have to call in fatigue day 3
I used to fly good ones regularly that afforded me over 6 hours (sometimes almost 9) of sleep. The funny thing is the good ones paid way better as well since we got 1:1 pay after 12 hours of duty. If you had one close to the max of 14 hours it would pay almost 8 hours. I remember doing PDX-BOI that paid like 7:40 and had almost 9 hours behind the door. It was next to impossible to stack those back to back though with PBS buffers.
