If you think you “work half the month” you’re doing something the majority of are not. The data backs me up-go look at the line constructions.
Signed, 27 year army/USAF vet who also didn’t love all my deployments and agrees, yes the hotels are just fine.
4 4-day trips. 16 days out of 30 or 31 days. You are right, it’s more then half the month 😑. To use your O5 pay reference, how much work were you doing for that pay? How many field problems? How much off duty “work” did you have to do? We as pilots do not work hard for what we do and are compensated well for doing so little.
