I've already bought my retirement house 3 hours from DCA.

How many days of flying do you need in a month to make your hours? Thanks.
How on earth is avoiding a three hour drive worth staying away from home for weeks at a time and multiple nights in a hotel/crash pad?
There are tons of people working normal jobs who spend 1-2 hours per day commuting. 7-14 per week.
