Lets see, wake up at 4am, 2am on my body clock. Not uncommon at the "regionals" these days whose flying consists of flying in the region of the entire United States. Anyway, wake up at 4 am, fly 2 hours, sit for four hours after flying that 2, then fly 3 hours, sit 2 hours, then fly 1 hour to an 8 1/2 hour sit (overnight) at a hotel, repeat.
I'm not talking about day 1 of a trip with a commute in on that day, I'm talking about days 2 and 3 of many "regional" type 4 day trips.
