That’s why we started building the pillow fort in the cockpit on the 757

This is why you bid planes with real bunks.

Someone mentioned the 6 day drips. Yes, they are painfully long. Halfway thru, you won't believe that there's still a whole 3 days still left. That being said, when you get back to the US for your mid trip layover, you're at the hotel in the early to mid afternoon, and pick up the next day is not til 5pm or so the next day. This becomes the guaranteed opportunity to cash in on your "sleep debt" and then some. The next morning (or afternoon) you wake up feeling great. Throw in a workout, plus a big breakfast and you're completely recharged come pickup. But yes, you will be thinking, "damn, got 3 days more to go"

i used to love the 9 day relief pilot trips when I did international. Not sure we even do those anymore. 9 days, 6 legs, at least one 48 hr layover in there somewhere and the good ones had 60+ hrs of credit. Not A-350 efficient but pretty good. You had to plan 2 months in advance though to avoid getting burned by the 100hr/30 day block limit.
