As always, to each his own and it's one of the reasons I really like the flying here -- you can stay at home in C-ville on R days and not get called, pm out and backs plus the bump potential, and 12 day single departure MD pairings. Take your pick, seniority rules.
agreed...i was about number 68 or so on the bus FO list and commuting..pretty easy...but most of us want to upgrade too..seniority does rule but the job is way more fun at the higher payrate....so i moved....found a great neighborhood with great neighbors...also 1st kid on the way and will want to be home more.....another bud is coming to town today from MSP...upgrading soon and is making the move...
