you’re just as tired doing a long domestic day with a long duty day. Come home from work. Crash that night. Boom no more work for weeks. Both have pros and cons but 3 nights of messed up sleep? Nah. You’re on a 24-30 hour layover not a 90 hour layover where you get acclimatized to their time zones like your vacations

The location determines the risk. Madison is not equal to Bogata. There are more locations outside the U.S. with higher risk IMHO.

Depends where in Bogota and where in Madison you are.

Joberg is statistically one of the most dangerous places we fly to. I'm always surprised why we have armed transport in Lagos but not in Joberg.

no matter how you slice it, you lose a sleep cycle every 3-day trip. I’ve never lost one on a domestic trip since I got senior enough to avoid redeyes.

I take it you’ve never been to Memphis, St. Louis, Oakland, Chicago, or Detroit?
