you ever heard the old saying "just because it's legal doesn't make it safe?" It's legal to fly into a massive hail storm, but it goes against my better judgment

You do know what the C in WOCL means, right?

So are you in favor of lean overs?

As a general rule, I have no problem with lean-overs. I especially have no problem with lean-overs that are operate in and DH back. Each person is responsible for their own fitness for duty. If you can't get any rest in the hotel in the 6 hours you are there and can't complete the return flight as scheduled, call in fatigued.

While I agree with your statement, I disagree with being in favor of them. It’s setting both the pilot and the passengers relying on said pilot up for failure.

Some are ok with lean-overs, others are absolutely opposed. The problem is that if we allow them, we all could be subject to have to fly them. So no, don't force us to fly them.

They've been allowed for years. The company doesn't want to build them because they pay 10:30 for 2-3 hours of block

Leanovers are unsafe by any sleep science approach. But pilots don’t actually want safety at all costs, and are willing to sacrifice safety for their income and convenience in the same way the company sacrifices safety for profit.

Lean-overs are far more safe than transcon red-eyes and 90% of international flying
