I felt the same way about long haul international, so I was doing domestic flying... but then after almost a decade of that, I decided I wanted to try to international again. Guess what. It was great! I really enjoyed it. After several years of doing that, I decided to go move to one of our foreign domiciles. That was an adventure. Now I'm getting ready to move back to the US and go back to the long haul international. I guess the point I was trying to make is that if someone wants to fly to milquetoast destinations in the same time zone, almost every airline gives them that opportunity. But at other places you have the option to not do that if you want as well.

But, my buds at SWA enjoy it, and in the end, that's all that really matters.
100% agreed that choices of flying, would be nice, but honestly, in the end it's a j.o.b.

I am all about time off at home, and want the least hassles and effort when I have to go to work, so I endeavor to fly to the most boring destinations possible, where I don't have to spend 3 of my 14 hour layover waiting for and sitting in a hotel van, I don't have to deal with customs, circadian shifts etc. I'll go on vacation to fun destinations.

Widebody pay, without having to work an extra week per month, would be nice though......
