I've listened to podcasts with sleep experts who paint a more dire picture than 15%.

The real issue is when there is training going on, you sometimes are forced into 1A without curtain. If that happens we get 2 breaks and will split who gets 1A. Without the curtain, I can't sleep.
Ya, I've been reading about the same stuff. Pretty interesting/scary stuff. You many be onto something with 717 style flying. You also get the added benefit of generally less flight time at higher altitudes which means less radiation exposure. Not sure of the health ramifications of multiple up/downs in a day. It could be especially nice if you live in base and bid reserve or drop your schedule and pick up nice 2 leg, 1-days. I love the 330 and this summer has been especially nice with an incredible amount of time off, but if I could drop everything and do 1 day out-and-backs, I jump on that opportunity.

I'm junior in category so I sit RES exclusively and my block time is a lot less than junior line holders who can't dump their schedules and fly broken trips. Not knowing my schedule is a drag but I knew what I was getting into when I bid my seat.
