Overnight during "night freight"?

Think about it for a second. You're flying at NIGHT. Spending the DAY at the out station.

We had the ATL-CVG-ATL run for a while. It was glorious! 82-hour weekend layovers while getting paid. It went back to ABX @ two years ago.

So, no.

Or, rather, yes. Yes it is uncommon.

Well, when you live in ATL...

So, I guess you'd hate the 5-day layovers at Coogee Beach in Sydney?

Yes. I'd rather do my time and go HOME.

The reality is, you're going to be stuck somewhere- on a plane, in an airport, or wherever else. I have no issues blocking 20 or less hours a month - and sitting in San Diego over the weekend-

Maybe a 9-5 would be better ?

Wouldn't that be an "overday"?

Does Atlas still have the 1 year from TBNT interview to reapply?

Hah, thanks for the correction. "Day layovernight" Guess I'm in the habit of starting at 8am and ending near 5pm four days in a row and then going home.
