What's your point? I don't understand your post.

Just jealous of your day trips. On the whale and we don't have those type of trips in ANC.

I thought day lines were 3 on 1 off. Not week on week off?

Not sure how that would work around the weekends..maybe someone that flies domestic can address it.

Go visit Europe for a while…you will see noone has to chill just because the sun went down. 😉

Our European flying isn't quite like network passenger carriers' European flying...

Figure out where you want to live, then go to whichever allows you to live "in base." A little extra coin here and there is great and all, but you can't put a price on being home a bunch more throughout your 30s/40s/50s, which I much prefer over working like crazy to try and retire a few years. I moved legacy airlines for home basing and I couldn't be happier with the decision. Long Euro layovers were great and all, but after a while, it just meant more time not spent at home with family/doing hobbies. As someone eluded to above, every airlines quest for optimization is slowly squeezing the good deal stuff anyway. In the end, an overnight just becomes another overnight.

I would say our intra-European flying looks nothing like US pax carriers European flying. It’s effectively the same as sort flying in CONUS. It can be a great deal if you want to stay on East coast time or if you are commuting from Europe. The mid-week layovers are relatively short, but they get long layovers on weekends. It’s one of our most senior fleets, so obviously most people find it a pretty good deal, but it’s not something you could consistently hold as a junior guy.

Our long haul European flying (mostly 74, some 76 & occasionally MD) more closely resembles US pax carriers flying over there.
