I don't think we'll generate a lot of sympathy for having to move every couple of years--especially from the military folks. A requirement to live in domicile is not a stretch, by any means.
True, but again, the economics of the situation will drive the results. Pilots don't have to move for their job nor are they obligated to fly for a living. All they have to do is say "**** you, I quit" and go find another job closer to home. While those pilots who $100,000+ jobs and decent schedules would be less likely to quit, those First Officers at regional airlines flying for less than school teacher pay might find an alternative career both more lucrative and easier on their family and social life.
