As we know domestic flying is boring, but math doesn't lie. Then taking into account scheduling rules, they may only fly 12 days. Way more money and time at home. Then you could always bid an international seat and grab long trips that still give you more time off in a chunk than you have here.
I completely understand your point, sir. I also appreciate your wisdom on this matter. You should always want the best for yourself, for your family, and fight for it. No doubt. Make the best of your work place and demand to be treated for what you are worth. I guess the level of what someone is willing to accept or put up with is based on what they feel is important for them. Each having their own priorities and set of needs. Again, you are truly wiser than I on this matter. I appreciate your position.
