I'm all for supporting the commuters but not at the expense of my ability to hold 1-2 day trips

Being home nearly every night has made this a completely different job and to be honest I just don't miss most of our layovers. Like at all.

After I set the parking brake I pack up my stuff and head home in my own car. I don't have to share a hotel shuttle with pax asking me loads of stupid questions ("my neighbor's cousin's barber is thinking about going to flight school") or listen to FAs b*tch and complain because they had to do their job that day.

I just don't care about any of that and would rather avoid it entirely. My state of mind has been infinitely better since we made the change last year.
