Even on Captain pay it's not worth it, at least on the regional level. My QOL and spending time at home is more important.

The issue with DTW is there are very few commutable trips. Lots of early duty ins before 7am and even some late duty-outs like 10-11pm. You get a couple of non-commutable 4 days, add a day before/after the trip and you're now at a 6 day trip. So much for your extra days off as a line holder.

I can already see this unfold, because it's already happening. Lots of people *****ing about the commute, lots of people trying to trade/swap for the few commutable trips and the commuter calls will increase and more people will be put on reserve and once again the junior guys get screwed.
