I don't know where you're looking but I am seeing it everyday. 1 and 2 day trips litter our schedules now. That is a fact. When the company displaces over a hundred plus families...what do you think they'll be doing. Commuting to do turns. The company has stated their goals publicly and they have already implemented the 1, 2, and 3 day trips.
People living in base may be willing...but when the displacements happen let's see how many people like flying to another city to pay for hotels between their day trips. These schedules are a radical departure from the norm. They are a band-aid to dealing with our unwillingness to invest in the companies infrastructure.
