I want to spend weekends with my spouse. I want to enjoy my life now while I’m alive and healthy and not half dead with a walker. I haven’t met anyone over 60 yet who wish they’d worked more when they were younger. If I was under 30 and single I might feel different. I don’t want to waste another 5 years climbing a ladder while life slips away.
Depends on one’s situation….. My QOL at my ACMI bested QOL at the regionals even holding weekends off at the regionals. I am at a Major now on a WB fleet dealing with reserve rules that is know for being rolled. Once I learned the reserve game, I’ve managed to hide out and not see a airplane for a whole month and score additional days/time off to spend with my spouse and also not get rolled either….
