TAFB doesn't count. We fly around lots of people who are on the road all of the time too. If you get into the airline business you know that comes with the job so no complaining about it on the back end!

I dunno about you guys, but a layover (ie. not at home) feels kinda like "work" to me....especially if you are close to the max duty/min rest limits and double-especially if you're beholden to a hotel with limited food options.
Doesn't mean you can't enjoy your "rest", but it also doesn't mean you aren't "at work" either.

Not complaining about being on the road as it is part of the job...but saying the only "work" an airline pilot does is block time is disingenuous.

Railroad engineers average at $36K. Not a single person here is arguing that FO pay doesn't need improvement. The point I was making, if you've read what I said, was that $200k after 20 years is not poor pay.

I am where I am soley on someone else's behalf. Its not that I'm away from mama, its that I'm here not on my own volition but because work says I have to be. I'm here on an overnight because I have to be. It's not my choice. Oh...and while you're busy being a wise a**...my kids are going to bed without a dad tonite.
