I wonder why anyone would bust their ass for 6 weeks to come home for only 2 weeks. That's 75% work for 25% time with the family. Unacceptable. Even a 9-5 desk jockey works only 71% of the time (5-day work week). For a U.S. pilot to commute to Yemen, where the U.S.S. Cole was terrorized, for 75% of his life for $7k a month is beyond me. Though I do have a job and will not speak for my friends who are furloughed from Frontier, Airtran, Skybus, etc... But still, that's just an insult.
