Just checked opentime for cr2ATL and counted 5 two day trips that were not naps. Apparently this month the company made tons of naps, who knows if that will continue.
As the others have said they definitely have a hard-on with 4 day trips. SH or CT will come into recurrent and profess that 4 day trips are the most efficient (actually SH said 5 days were, but they are not allowed). They will come up with the stupidest reasons why, and the reasons change every month. The best thing we can do is negotiate a specific trip mix, or raise the min day. The company will argue till they are blue the face how 3 day trips are inefficient, however flying a 4 day trip with a 40 hour layover in columbus, ga is somehow very efficient..................
