The good news is that the job market is such that folks can do whatever they want. I flew 91/135 before the airlines and really enjoyed everything except the (lack of) schedule, and the fracs fix that problem. Airline flying is less work but I don't think doing the CIP thing is really all that big a deal. Someone mentioned fewer legs per day, and I'll add that as I get older being home becomes a bigger and bigger priority too. I'd absolutely consider a place like NetJets if faced with a career-long commute, but one nice thing about living in base at my 121 gig is being able to take advantage of being a lazy bastard and just not working much. No more than three days/two nights in a stretch and fewer than 100 days for the year is my kind of flying.
