I hate when people make the argument that naps are unsafe.
I believe it has more to do with the individual.
I love naps. They fit "me" and my sleep habits. I realize that they are not for everyone. If you don't like them...fine - don't bid for them. But don't say they are unsafe because you don't like them.
To me, 4 days are dangerous. By day four, I am so home-sick that my mind is on being at home more than flying the airplane...and that can be just as unsafe!
I wish we had not asked for rigs to apply to naps. Seems it messed up the whole order of things. Now the most senior guys (not always the ones best suited for naps) are bidding naps because of line credit. They sing the "unsafe" song...but they love the money...and they keep on bidding them.
