It's really only the last day of the trip on the NB that is atrocious, stuff like ANC-SEA (4.5 hr sit) SEA-DTW, should not be a thing.

I keep hearing this, but that 1-2 year CA would be 90% or worse WB FO. Not that it can’t be done, but bring that close to the plug I’m not sure how easy it is to match $. The CA flying just 1 GS really makes the numbers hard.
