I have some friends that are very junior lineholders on the Airbus in JFK that are able to swap to avoid red-eyes. Probably has to do with the fact that they live in base and don't care about commutability I'm sure.

If we go to Europe are guys going to complain about flying to Europe in the middle of the night too?

So glad that management has free time to advise the pilot group.

I thought the solution was going to a real airline.

To the Europe question, we do not go to Europe. Also, yes we will complain.

You think real airlines don't fly red eyes?

Do they pay in gumdrops and unicorn crap too?

They do NOT fly the percentage of them we do. Fly around at 3am sometime on the east coast. What percentage of the callsigns are Jetbluexxx vs much larger carriers? You would think we were the US national airline at that hour.

Stop defending this place. Just. Stop.

And the further the distance, the more you fly at night.

But since you hate yourself, why haven't you gone to one of the WO regionals so you can get a flow through to a real airline? Too scared? Afraid to put your money where your very large mouth is?
