Imagine the outrage over a 5-day trip with a daytime start, switch to redeye on day 2, day sleep and evening flight day 3, then return to morning departure on day 4/5.

A redeye finish is very different than an embedded redeye

One of the worst rotations I’ve ever operated in my career was as follows (times are local):
Day 1/2: Depart JFK 23:00, arrive LAX 02:00 Day sleep Day 2/3: LAX 2200 - FLL 0600 Day sleep Day 3: FLL 2000 - JFK 2200 Day 3/4: JFK 2359 - Barbados 0500 Day sleep Day 4: Barbados 1900 - JFK 2359 I commuted back to Atlanta and then slept for almost 20 hrs straight. Not much relevance here, but one kick in the nuts worth remembering. |

Not much relevance here, but one kick in the nuts worth remembering. Also, to me, at least it’s all night flying. Some of the circadian flips I see on 4-5 day trips are ridiculous. Those hurt me worse. |

I'll take it. Trade you for my 15 years stuck at a regional and getting downgraded for 2 years.
I came from the same regional and also had a seat lock on a non-ideal airplane for more than the minimum. You’ll be fine. |

Does Delta do a lot of redeye flights to the islands? I thought that was a JetBlue thing.

I don’t think we do.
Lot of redeyes to MEX. redeye transcons ...on NB. That trip doesn't look like anything I've seen at Delta. But it does look like a trip a friend does on the 320 at JetBlue. |

Yeah I've seen/done both of those. But I haven't seen a redeye from NYC to the islands before.
