I get that, but I also think a lot of pilots came here for that specifically. So why don't we push for that in the contract. Premium rate for anything overnight that would put us on par with Delta, et al. Day trip is still in the companies interest and pilots are compensate if it goes away.
I get that it's not a perfect strategy, but it's a fact of life. I want to be home more than I'm gone and I'm willing to sacrifice pay to get it. I'm betting there are a lot of others who would agree.
