Total Block 25 hours. Scheduled reduced rest is normal for the nickel. Majority of 4 day trips have 2 nights reduced rest. I'd say 99% of two day trips are reduced rest.
Someone said this is frightening. This one pairing of itself isnt frightening, what is scary is this is a pretty normal standard pairing at most of the regionals (hundreds of pairings like this are flown every day, that is the scary part) Youll notice, that instead of using comp rest as intended to back up a day that ran tight, they schedule this way with the intention of "hey if we build the pairing from the center out, one comp rest overnight gives us 2 reduced rest days" one on either side. That is the normal line of thinking with the people who build lines each month.
