I've had two "unrealistically scheduled" last days resulting in extended days and first-day-off returns in the past three months alone. My wife likes the ka-ching but I'm a little tired of 8-day tours and really long day 7's.
It's odd to hear the company complain about costs when they are making a lot of unrealistic schedules on pilots' last tour days. An unrealistic last day results in 2 extended days for pay and they lose part or all of the first day of your next tour. That can't be good for crewing airplanes.
