If there's any certainty in airline pilot life, it's that everyone will always disagree on the best trip mix.

If you live in base you hate 4 days, and want 1-3 day trips depending how far you live from the base. If you commute, 1-2 day trips suck and aren't worth commuting in for, but also 3 days suck because you don't get enough days off. 4 days are desirable but only if they're commutable.

And the wheel goes round and round.
