Not no but HELL NO!
It's a complete waste of my time and it takes two days to do a one day trip.
NOW...if it paid say, 10:30 hours, then I might think about it (and still not bid it) but for two days out of my life, I want at least 5:15/day, i.e. 10:30.
BUT...I'm a commuter, my time is valuable, if I have to spend 5 hours both ways to get to/from ATL, it better be for at least 25hr. trip.
Some guy who lives in PTC might love it. Great, let him fly them, but don't you dare assign it to a commuting reserve.
How about we make them "Un-assignable" as in, you must BID IT to fly it. No reserve should be stuck with it, and no line holder should be Un-stacked into one.
