LIM is it, and it's a good one! I used to layover in SJU about twice a week, but that ended a couple of years ago, and I haven't been back since...

So 90% of the overnights are domestic? No bueno

Is it? Im fine with domestic overnights; usually safer, no shakedowns, 'merican money, etc.

I used to bid the Cabo overnight, all inclusive hotel, on the beach, fun right? Gets old, it all gets to be the same. Safe clean hotels, some stuff near by (which our long stays help take care of) and i'm fine.

International overnights rank about 1,233,098 on my list of "Stuff I want from my airline," right above stick pretzels over round ones, and right below "click pens" or "cap pens" in the hotels I stay at.

I am in the middle of a flip flop schedule with a two leg redeye scheduled in the middle of 4 day followed by a two day Trans con. Both of the close to 24 hr rest periods are basically completely consumed by trying to reset my body clock as well as my first day home at the end will be. So much of my personal time is spent fkng and then unfkng my body rhythm after a schedule like this that I consider it work.

Red eye overrides are a must in the next contract no fkn way will I vote on anything without that

What is your point? International is not really not the fun it is advertised to be. Pass.
