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 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?)
