It is subjective really...., there are people that like the several days cargo trips since they pay for less nights at the hotel in Narita, Not Me! others absolutely hate the day trips and I could do nothing but passenger out and back for my entire roster; you hear others complaining that they haven't done a Honolulu in months where as they could have all of mine..., over priced dump with multiple time zone crossings that leaves you like a zombie at both ends of the trip! Some like cargo, others like the passenger trips!
But the rule of thumb around here is that you will get plenty of what you don't like in your roster to accommodate the life style of a few numb nuts that try to rearrange their schedule, don't answer their phone on Stby days and plain old refuse trips they don't like.
The days of cozy two nights passenger trips to nice destinations disappeared with the merger..., come here for the lifestyle of your days off and the business class commute.
