A transcon commute....OK fine. Not great but I could make it work, at least for a while. From Australia though??......YGBKM. HELL NO to that.
Oh.....and God forbid you bend metal....or worse. How's that 14 hr commute gonna look to the company, FAA and NTSB during the accident investigation?? All so your wife can live somewhere she doesn't have to. C'mon
Man we are spoiled and judgemental. That commute with appropriate rest and a 2 week stretch on the schedule could be great. Have you seen ACMI schedules? A month at a time with rest and DHs on the fly, never planned in advance. If it doesn't work for you that doesn't mean it won't work for someone else.
