A lot of people I know are getting out or considering it. If you're senior enough, you can link a string of day trips consisting of four legs, which tend to make for a pretty long day and not totally ideal for a commuter. Or, and this is most people I know, you work a month of red-eyes. Now, many of the red eyes are actually three day, 10 hour trips. On top of that, schedules now work so that it's possible to land from one FDP in the morning and start the next FDP flying a red-eye at night. So, you're either flying completely on the back side of the clock or jumping pretty hard from one to the other. This scenario can be completely avoided if you're living and or based on the East Coast. For some people though, this is not an ideal schedule or quality of life. In my opinion, this sort of thing will push people to move on more than anything else.
