^^^^^ this, and there is a distribution of stand-ups. Some very attractive - others not so much.
Pay isn't even the primary issue. But associated with the way they are being paid: low paying = very little rest - and that is where the real problem is.

I dont particularly like standups.. will do them now and again for JRM pay. I see the value of having them.. they make longer pairings more efficient. Pilot Mom's with kids love them, senior FO's with side businesses love them.. jr caltains commuting to DTW don't...

This is true. Somebody has to work the last flight to the outstation, and the first flight back to the hub.
That means either one standup crew or two RON crews.

Just don't get used to them and do it for too long or you'll turn into that weird subculture crowd that rolls in around 9PM looking tired and pasty wearing a trench coat with who knows what underneath.

Any advice for logbook conversion to digital?
And which digital logbook service to stick with after that?
It'd be nice to be able to scan and send it instead of mailing off my life's journal.
Thanks!
