I did morning turns for almost 4 years, with the exception of the June/July bid when I did day flying. I think I had less than 20 hotel stays each of those years, and a bulk of those stays I did have were self-induced via trip pickup or trading.
Night flying ain’t easy, but the QOL that comes from living in domicile cannot be overstated.

Completely unrelated and I am sorry. But I see you’re from Louisville Ky. I am currently in Lexington and just got my CFI, have the CFII ride jan 5. Do you have any suggestions for finding a flight school. Just moved to Lexington in September to save some $ being from NY flying a lot more expensive. So trying not to move again lol again I apologize for being off topic
