Dune , been doing it a lot longer than you .Just get over it , you don't have to bid those trips if you don't want to . FYI I do and enjoy the time off.
And as someone else said that is the way aviation is going , if you don't like it don't do it ,you have choices, stop bitching like girly man . Most of the guys on my street like the ULR 's
Just to add , Dune , where you here when we did the Moscow turns? I was and did the month in 8 days- Sun and Tues . Oh ya that was when the weekend was thrus and fri, but I'm sure you knew that.
