Unless you're senior and only do plum locals and standups, the opportunity cost of being on the road eats pretty deeply into those 15 days off.
By the time I catch up on all the stuff I missed while I was gone, 15 days off is about a wash with 9-5 jobs. At 18 days off I start to feel good about life.
If you're single and are attracted to FA's then being on the road may not be so bad, but people with families pay a price.

I hear ya. I opted to move so as not to have to commute, but not everyone wants to do that.

What "plum locals and stand ups"? They've been almost non-existent for a long time...

For Pilots flying for the regionals, are there special provisions to allow a pilot to take a leave of absence without pay to fly 3-4 months (in a row) out of the year for the Government, non-military. Drug eradication program.
