And anyone says they don’t like driving to the airport every day or every other day, what the heck do you do on overnights? Sleep in the airport? You still sit in traffic on the way to and from the hotel.
I don't know if you realize this, but most places day turns are very limited and mostly to the most senior pilots. Besides that, I and lots of other people like spending time on the road. The international guys seem to all love their international layovers. I have places I like to go and spend time at a lot of cities we layover in.
Again, your truth is not universal. So you want to do day turns? Cool. You can have them.
