You go from working super late at night i.e. The red eye part to a super early show time the next day. If you sleep right after the red eye portion, you won't be able to easily fall asleep that night. If you wait to sleep until night you'll be a zombie. I know this is how some international pairings work, but those are bad domestic pairings IMO

The Raleigh one isn't bad. The DFW one sucks.

TankerDriver,

What are your concerns? With that info, we can give you better info. When is your class date?

I assume you are Air Force. One thing that was great about the 190 for me (also AF) was getting lots of reps in some of the toughest airports to operate out of (LGA, DCA, BOS). I learned a ton about airline ops. I really enjoyed the long Manhattan, BOS, and D.C. layovers (though under the new LAA rules, long layovers are pretty scarce now). I did a ton of sight seeing. You also will really appreciate the easy flying on the Airbus later on.

PRS,

I actually haven't gotten a call yet, but I'm hoping to hear something soon. I am a full-timer in an ARC unit. PHL is my 1st choice of basing.

Thanks for the info.

Let a DFW 190 crew fly the red eye leg......oh wait. AA will soon become nothing more than Mesa Grande.
