i didnt know standup was an actual term like redeye was
They call them Naps here but they are just mostly at least 7 hours here.

At Colgan the downsides to stand-up overnights are low hours each month and no per diem. If you're a commuter though they are great!

Actually, as any Laker or ex-Laker will tell you, they're called 'high-speeds'!

At Horizon we call them 'CDOs' for Continous Duty Overnights.
