You will go from midnight starts to early morning, midday, late and anywhere in between in one week, mixing between ULR/mid and turn arounds. You can't understand it until you experience it. I say this because I know, and I was warned before I came here but could not fathom it. Some people deal with it better than others, but not me.
This right here. Waking up seeing some dim light under the curtains as your asking yourself where am I and is that dusk or dawn light 😁🤔. It will mess with you after a while. QOL and health is so much more important than the plane you fly or seat you are in. EK could be a great gig. But they refuse to make it one.
