Yes I don't look forward to trips anymore, because 12 hour days are now the norm instead of the exception. Short nights mean I'm slam clicking anyway. The joy of a good layover was gone before Covid for me.

You need to call the union and have them call the company out on their lies. They are putting out that the 320 average duty period is about 8:30 and the 7ER 8 hours. Average layover for both about 16 hours.

I can’t quite say I’m dreading it yet, but I sure as hell don’t look forward to it either. Used to really enjoy layovers. Finding a good restaurant, local beer, taking a long walk to see something new/interesting.
Now it seems many trips you’re either in your underwear in your room or in uniform, lots of “working” meals (if you can find food).
Come to think of it, maybe I am dreading that next trip.

I liked it better pre-optimizer but it’s still a damn good job. I’m pretty junior on the 73 and average less than 2 legs a day. Cant speak for the other fleets but it seems the trips are a whole lot better if you don’t touch Atl. I would chalk that up to the 88 effect.
