Apples to oranges.
I agree with the complaints about the training schedule and commuting to and from home. We have no say in our training schedule. One of the only restrictions is there must be a two day off period within a 14 day footprint. That makes it very difficult to get to and from home on days (or day in many cases) off. If you have a family, and especially if you have a wife that works and kids, it’s very hard to just be absent for the majority of a month. As a normal commuter yes your commute has gotten very difficult but you’re not flying much at all and you’re also given the option to take a VIL. To make matters worse many of these guys headed to training in the next few months are going there involuntarily.
So to be honest I feel a lot worse for them than I do you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
EDIT: I see you quoted Tristar and not Nuball’s post. Yeah getting to and from recurrent isn’t going to get much sympathy from me either.
