A favorite story from ASA.
My commuting FO enters the flight deck, sweaty, out of breath and disheveled. Says his commute was a nightmare. I reply "this job isn't worth commuting for." He deadpans, "if it isn't worth commuting for, it sure isn't worth moving for."
He was correct.
Done it, did it, have the T-Shirt. Would not want to have to again. Someday it will be worth it though.
