Get the bike! Get it!!! I was just checking out Cervelo's and Quintana Roos the other day in Pasadena. Outrageously priced but dam, is it worth it! The cervelo weighed in at exactly 15lbs, fit me like a glove. The tri-bikes are certainly different from road bikes in the fact that the seat is directly over the pedals. smaller frames too. Anyway, I wouldn't consider bringing my bike with me on every trip, maybe once or twice a month to Belgium or wherever. It was just a thought to make my training fun and see the country side. Thanks a bunch for the support and the info guys!!
Frankly, my layovers even on the CRJ are sometimes long enough, and in places where riding would be nice! Especially upstate New York or New Hampshire or Vermont. But we already have enough hassles and I am usually tired enough that a 30-45 minute run is all I can muster.
But believe me, I empathise with your idea. I have many layovers where I would love to get out and go for a 2-hour ride or so.

For what it's worth, last year when I was based in Anchorage, I stayed at a bed and breakfast, which also catered to NWA cargo crews. The last time I walked in the door, there was a captain and a first officer (both NWA guys), each working very hard on their laptops. I asked "what's going on" and they each told me they were in the process of searching for other jobs. Again, for what it's worth.
