I'm sure you're smart enough to figure out the plus side of DH trips for commuters. It's less about the actual DH and more about door to door limo service, FF miles, First class lounges/tickets, paid commutes, staying home day one of a two-day DH or getting home a day or two early while still on the clock, no cars in domicile, crash pads or commuter hotels.
Yep. I always thought the cycle of aviation went:
1. Paying to fly.
2. Getting paid to fly.
3. Getting paid to NOT fly.
I'm all about maximizing number 3 on that list.
And sweet double DH charters go a long ways toward that.
I have given it the old college try, but I always see the same usual suspects on these trips. Frustrating to say the least.
