In 61 the chief is just another dude...how much he flies depends on how much other stuff he has to do, how much he gets paid for not flying, and how badly he needs the flight time.
If he's airline bound, why would he sit at a desk all day for fast food wages and let junior people pad their resumes at his expense...that's not why he's their.
Better get used to it, same thing will happen at the airlines...you will be on reserve on Xmas while senior people get paid more to fly less, and still be home with their families.
