Dozens per days of commuting each year that won't happen, while having the most productive schedule in the industry and great vacation.
It might be a no brainer for you. It is not for everybody. Some people don't want to do that kind of flying for 30 years no matter how convenient. I don't want to do FedEx kind of flying no matter how much better it pays, and that when I got hired my folks lived in that **** hole Memphis. I just think it is a little simplistic to say it is a no brainer like that applies to everybody.
