Trips are inefficient, and we work more days for less pay. A new hire at Mesa will get around 40-50k more in their first year. FWIW, I am leaving, I am just waiting on a class date.
The argument against 1-2 day trips is ridiculous. As a relatively senior local I cannot hold these trash pairings. When they do pop up in open time you have to be ready to log in and pick it up. For a while we had far more 4-day trips which make your schedule much less flexible.
