Day trips sound great on paper. I get it. But the reality is, unless you have super easy premo trips and live 5-10 mins from the airport, it really isn’t. It’s a glorified “overnight” at home.
If you think having 18-19 off a month, but having to work a few 4 days a month sucks for me, I don’t know what to tell you lol. My QOL is exponentially improved verses “bEiNg hOmE EvErYnIgHt” 🤷🏻♂️
1. who parks in the employee lot?
2. How long do you ride to and from a hotel?
3. Being at hotel you can’t do normal family things at home. If you’re a lonely bachelor that just GTLs everyday I guess that’s fine but some of us like to take our kids to school or be home at dinner time or coach a sport.
