320->330 short course will add 2yrs seatlock. Is short, but not short enough to give you 1 yr seatlock. Unless you go 320B->330B and your FIRST CA upgrade is the 320A, then you got yourself into a longer seatlock but back into domestic.

You are only renting the seat and don't own it. The guy before you checked out on time. You want a late checkout with a free extra night. Tell me how that's not the case.

“The only direct mention of the 767s in the presentation came when CEO Ed Bastian noted the order for 20 Airbus A350-1000s, with options for 20 more, for delivery starting in 2026, describing the A350s as "over 20% more fuel efficient than the 767s that they'll be replacing."”

Yeah, that was dumb. Sorry you got the sharp end of that stick. But you are why they ‘fixed’ that, so they can’t suddenly get an extra year+ seat lock for the low, low price of 1 extra day of training.

And just for perspective (and everyone is different) I find a 24 hour INTL layover plenty of time to work out, go out, and zonk out!
The reality is most guys will find an excuse NOT to work out. You look for an excuse, you'll certainly find it. I sense that you are different. You will have no trouble, this shouldn't even be a concern when bidding an INTL aircraft.

AirFrance has offered us a great deal on an A350-900 if we pick it up in Canada.

Have a set routine for getting back to sleep. Some read, like me. Some will take a shower. Some will do yoga. I know a few, especially in the london layover, that turn on the TV apparently the brit accent makes them sleepy again. It varies as widely as the individual. A good AME can help too. Maybe how to use melatonin or something, but you have to be careful with that, and again, I'd talk to your AME first. You just have to find what works for you.

It sounds like personal health and fitness are your life goals. Flying international works directly against those goals. Regardless of how people try to sugar coat international, it is hard on the body. There is nothing healthy about flying internationally.
Im not claiming domestic is super healthy, but if you can get on a semi regular sleep schedule, that goes a long way to mitigate the health issues of airline flying. Not to mention, you’ll have the energy to workout.
