No. But there is stuff to do even on a regional budget and in “Fly Over Country”. One of my favorite overnights was one in OKC when my crew went to a minor league game in Brickyard. It was maybe $5 to get in and I bought the beer. Hot dogs were also cheap. Another time an all female crew “made” me go to a fashion exposition in Montreal as “punishment” for me making them ride bikes with me to a brewery. Another time an all gay crew took me around to gay bars. Not my cup of tea, but it was a memorable experience and they bought the beer for a change.
It’s funny, the regional pilots who won’t leave their rooms are the same ones who stay in the hotel when we go to Hong Kong, Istanbul and Tokyo. Life is for the living. Put down the video games and go out and live.
