You guys honestly do 12-16 hour stints with nothing to eat either provided or a place to to buy from? Do you just pack your own meals to bring with you? Seems inhumane..

There’s food on VIP flights, not on ICE or Cuba.
Trips are 4-8 days on
12 hard days off they’re trying 14 off in MIA next month.
Commutable can be depending on what you bid. We have commuters but not many. Home based well it’s that you’re home based . MIA has a bit of everything and so does IWA.
Hotels only if you’re on a trip outside of your base or you’re on home basing. If you’re IWA/MIA based you need a crashpad or maybe you’re local.
