Tell me you didn’t spend a decade at a regional without telling me.
How many times can you do a layover before you’ve seen it? Twice? Five times? Now what for the rest of your career? And if you think those senior widebody pilots are bidding it for the layovers I’d say you’re mistaken. Some domiciles might only have a couple destinations on a given fleet so you just end up doing the same thing over and over again.
So while you’re enjoying that new restaurant in Billings in January, the dishwasher or washing machine just broke at home. Sure would be nice to be home and handle that for your lady. Don’t worry you’ll be able to post to your Instagram about that sweet poutine you got in Edmonton. F that! I’m never going back to that without a fight.
