We missed you complaining about the schedules this month...berating a potential recruit is a solid way to make up for that though and to expect more from you is honestly a stretch.
As for something more productive for pilots that aren't better suited flying for a regional...
The 767 schedules are mostly night hub flying. Most of the time we don't sit through the sort with possibly a couple exceptions a rotation. You leave around 5 am local from CVG...get to the outstation anywhere for 7 to 11 CVG time...get rest at the outstation...then fly back to be back in CVG around 1-2 AM the next day. You then usually have off until the morning departure the next day. Sprinkle in some reserve days instead of flying and that's a normal rotation.
As for the new schedules they're a work in progress that still need some tuning. They're 12 day schedules where you sit through the sort every night and then fly out to the outstation. You only get rest at the outstation. You airline in on Sunday night and then back home Saturday night. It's a brutal schedule but it cuts down the total days out by quite a bit. We are looking at fatigue mitigation strategies for these pairing as they're brutal.

That’s actually alot better than I thought it’d be. Fdx/ups/abx etc sit for the sort. I’ve done it and it IS brutal. Hitting the hotel in CVG would be a huge improvement on that.
