At first it wasn't to awful but each month got worse. I joined the scheduling committee and MM sent me the lines which looked great! Responded back with hey these look good everyone in base for the most part was happy. Then the lines come out to bid and they're nothing like what she sent me in fact they were brutal.

What gets me are the series of day trips that start with the first flight on day 1 and end on the last flight on day 4 or 5. 100% non-commutable. With nearly min days off, there is NO quality of life anymore...even for those of us who drive to work.
My line next month had 2 work periods that had commutability on one end...

Day -1, fly out to IAD then sit around for the 950pm, get in at 11:30, sleep in the "pilot lounge" upstairs using the office chairs as a bed (Or the futon.) 4:30 showtime for the ATL overnight 2 day...wonderful 7:59 day without showering the morning of.
Day two get in at 11:30pm, go upstairs and repeat Sunday night, wake up at 5:00am to jumpseat on the flight out to IAD, get home at around noon. Cry.
Those two months took a couple years off my life.
(Wasn't supposed to live past 25 anyway, right Kanye?)

That is why I wanted nothing to do with the scheduling committee.
