Hey new guys, I spent the first 7 years at DAL commuting and attempting to juggle family life & work. All it accomplished was 6-8 quality days off a month at home and 1 Greenslip the entire time. A year ago I gave up and moved. Best decision in my life. Feeling very good about turning down my 3rd & 4th Greenslip for the month. Have averaged 105 hours a month this year and have had more time at home than ever. Spent the last 4 days with family & the next 6 doing nothing but catching up on honey do lists & a bit if boating. More important things on life than the almighty dollar. We only go around on this planet once (that we know of).
Do yourselves & your families a favor. Move to your base as soon as you can.

Has anyone or everyone (hopefully) filled out the turbulence survey located on DLnet?

If any of you guys decide to call me Gramps I won't be offended. I actually prefer Papa.

That is good advice, and sometimes I wish I wasn't as close to my family and friends...but my wife and I both grew up outside Chicago and our families both still live here. I'm still close to my friends from high school, likewise for my wife. I've considered moving multiple times and know I'm losing money by not living in base but have offset that loss by starting a business that does pretty well, which allows me more time at home with kids and family, instead of chasing money.
As my parents get up there in age, I will never regret that I didn't spend enough time with them. I see them and my sisters and my in-laws several times a week. I hate commuting, and I wish it was easier, but I will commute for the rest of my life if it means working with all of you here at Delta, AND spending as much time as I do with the people I've known my whole life. That's what's important to me.
YMMV. Peace, E
