Let's not oversell it guys. Every flight is a redeye, you rarely get to fly the plane, half of the nights away from home are locked inside of an aluminum tube vs a hotel room and even an airport layover hotel provides better rest than the crew bunk.

Ha granted DTW ain't the same as ATL. Atl 717 is doing trips I would have called a nightmare on a 50 seat RJ. I have yet to see 5 legs in DTW. This summer is does seem we're extra thin though.

When the first two legs are MSP-LAS-MSP, it would be hard to fit a 4th leg in. It’s usually MSP-GRR or MKE to layover. The first and/or last day of a 4 day is usually brutal out of MSP on the airbus.

Especially on the wobbly manual seats that only go a third of the way up your back. At least there's no brake fans on those though.

Sorry, what? You’ll have to speak up, the air is WAY too loud on this old 320.
