Those that are single and not committed to a permanent home can save a ton of money, equivalent to giving themselves a hefty raise. If it works for them great, that means less tdy for the rest of us.

Pilots can't tolerate these ridiculous concoctions. Writing them off as "oh well, good for them, at least it's not me" will only perpetuate the misery. If we don't hold the line, this mindset will become an industry norm. Perpetual TDY is absurd and very few people can do it for long.

Keep telling yourself it could improve quality of life, I disagree, but if you want to bid it and prove me wrong, then i'll change my opinion but as of now I'm completely against it and don't see it being a positive unless some rules are put in place.

Does JB have Best Cake Bake, Cutest Pet and weight loss contests? Does JB have a happy Saftibot cartoon to fill you in on safety issues? Travel Elves at JB by chance? Ornament making kits in the crew room for the corporate Christmas tree?
Allegiant does, so strike one.........against allegiant. And there's so, so much more. Run don't walk. You are lucky, don't miss that opportunity.
