MIA sept 8 - Nov 3, 2019 bid:
12 week on / off night sort lines
14 turn lines; only 4 have more than 10 duty days per 4 week period. A few instances of 5 in a row but these also boast 16/28 days off...
20 lines South America flying. Some, about 10, are relatively clean, some a little choppy but still in commutable blocks, and some look more like base trip lines. Yet, almost all of it is in commutable blocks, a small handful of exceptions noted.
3 VTO lines
18 reserve lines: mostly week on off but some with 3-5 day blocks.
On initial glance these lines don’t appear to be that bad. Instead of complaining, perhaps the dude could offer a useful critique citing specific examples for the benefit of those interested.

Throw in shifting report times day-to-day and yeah, things have degraded...
