Totally depends on where you live and whether you have "friends" in scheduling.
But you're absolutely right about people outside fractional not being able to wrap their heads around a lot of what we do.
Like have 80 year old dudes still on the seniority list....but that's another keyboard duel.

The 80 year old thing....don’t get me started. At least they started putting Depends in the stock locker for those guys.

It has been said by our negotiators that those at smaller bases tend to have higher after midnights and less revenue legs. It is not a significant large number, but even a 10-20% increase is an expense. Supposedly, 90% of all our pilots live within 3 hours of a green base. As the pilot group doesn't seem willing to reduce the bases which could lead to more pay, the company has added the shorter tour options for green bases as an alternative. However, with the advent of FDP, that doesn't seem to be as attrnow.
