Once I commute to be base, I want to work. If I am not in base, I don’t want to work.. Hence is why I am okay with the prospects of LCL as a commuter.
It’s like a beverage, I either want it hot (tea) or cold (beer, water, etc). Nothing lukewarm… Once I am in base, I looking for any and all flying assignments. But I get home, yeah I rather just be home. None of the i between.
what is your b/s/e?
You want to be at home or at least in your own hotel room paid for by the company, fair desire. For the record, I live within 32 min drive.....and try to grab all the short call I can even on the last day...part of this is of course I am genetically pre programmed to grab all the ADD pay available (a la Free Holiday Inn Express breakfast) but also I find great pride in the my altruistic pursuit of keeping one less person from commuting in or driving by long distance for covering short call.
