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.
I agree to an extent. In a way one could be equally as proud to be an Allegiant pilot as a Delta pilot if we do make a clear statement in the contract that day trips are here to stay and x work rules will be implemented if you have to work a multi day trip. But pay rates should be the same.
