Exactly. When has the FAA or any company done anything to make pilot's lives easier?
The only things I'd like to see are 9 hard hours once at the hotel and regulations for WHEN the flying is done. IE Day 1: 5:30am show, done at 4pm, Day 2: 4pm show fly till 8pm, Day 3: 6:00am show. While the first and second day here aren't an issue that third day feels like death. after a late show it's hard to force the body to sleep on a min rest overnight for an early show.
The rest can be negotiated for in contracts.
