I think you have summoned up the work schedule very well. I plan for sleep and then exercise. These are the two driving forces of my quality of life working at UPS. It hasn't gotten easier with time, at least for me. I try to work the min 81 hours a month as much as possible.

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.

3 on 4 off every week was nearly every morning turn line two years ago.
A forth morning turn is exponentially harder than three, even with a full week off in the pattern; a fifth consecutive turn under nearly any circumstance is begging for a fatigue call.
Throw in shifting report times day-to-day and yeah, things have degraded...
