I'll second this. Some people are robots but I try to limit my OT to day trips only. 8 days is already a long time on the road.

You don't need to pick up that much overtime. The FO rate is $400 a day. If you pick up 1 day per cycle that adds up to like 10k extra a year.

Congratulations! You mind me asking what sorts of items were on the tech and sim? My interview isn't until Nov but as much up to date info as I can get I'd appreciate!

Constant clock shifts, shooting 4-5 approaches to mins in one day, throwing bags, <20 minute turns, going 8+ hours without food because they move your crew meals around.

Not every day is like that but enough are that it takes a toll.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I'm leaving, pretty much all the FO's are just sticking it out until they reach ATP mins.
