Problem with day trips, is they tend to be built into lines with more commutes.
The 2 week intl trips go senior. Year 10, can't hold them. Many reasons, but one of the most obvious is 2 commutes in a bid period (56 days) for those that fly the long trips.

i.e. commute home instead of DH from PHL or ANC?

I spent many years afraid to come to Z because of having small kids and the 2 week trips. That fear was for naught,they go senior. Ease of commute, large block of time off, and built in overtime (up to 14 hours a trip pairing). Traditionally, if you like them, you could get them on vto (vacation, training, open time) lines as they were fodder for great vacation time off. Now, with ocv, that may not be as true.
