I however don't have to stop because I'm tired very often, usually only if it's one of those days that started at 11 or 12 at night before I got to bed. Not looking for a badge of honor it's just that personally 10hrs doesn't wear me out, and when I went to an 8 hour day flying single pilot, that's like being on vacation. But apparently the union mentality runs deep with airline pilots, so I'm wasting my time trying to convince anyone in this section.

And just What do you think the majority of "those" days would be?

Red eyes from the West Coast........and trying doing it everyday for a week like we do at Fedex..we don't less duty block time limitations we need more!
