I never even made to 50% in seat and I flew plenty of 4-leg/4-days and 2-leg/2-days. I even have a bid packet 3-leg/4-day in here. Looking at the times, my overnights were generally longer back then as well.

Either way, it got better from your days on the 88, so going back to that is a step backward. But the bigger factor is that with the rest rules today, these trips often have zero flex, so a rain cloud in ATL and NYC, wreaks havoc on the operation.
