We have destroyed QOL in this job for what more money...wait we still get payed less than a decade ago soooo. More work for less pay, look at us go. Maybe this contract will fix it.... I bet it will
I agree. Just the other day I was thinking about my time at a regional, years ago. Almost all the trips that overnighted were commutable. (the day trips weren't) They all had a start around noon, and ended around 12pm-3pm. I don't ever recalls having to wait until the next day to commute home.
Why are we taking such a QOL of life hit without addressing it? Now I live in base, but I would much prefer trips that didn't involve me getting up before 5am, and allowed me to get home before my kids went to bed. I only live half an hour from the airport, so it's not like I have a long trek home.
