How do I know what your schedules are like? I have friends there, and they complain a lot, saying they are tired after their trips. How can you get such productive trips? Not all of them are two leg days. But, if you want to keep stating otherwise, go ahead.
And why do I have so many posts? I have been on this board for years, and I bring the computer along on many trips overseas. I have time to do this, and see the world. It's great.
Your Dad's trips sound tough. Some of our NWA trips to Asia are 11 day trips, and that doesn't sound great either. Our Delta trips (and most NWA trips coming up here) are a lot better. Our senior guys on the 777 do 3 day trips from ATL to NRT, worth 28 hours. Same for Joberg, Tel Aviv, Dubai.... They fly 9 days a month, and do well paywise. SYD is a 6 day trip, but the last day you can DH home to ATL if you wish via LAX. We do those types of trips on a lot of our fleets, and being senior helps. I can do 3 day trips to Europe worth 20 or so hours, or do 6 day trips worth up to 40 hours. It sounds like you have variety, but we do too. It is just different, and if you get tired of INTL flying, you can go back to DOM.
This sounds like it will just go round and round, so you just go enjoy your deal and I will enjoy mine.
