Sorry guys, I'm the opposite.
I love the one or two leg days, long layovers, casual easy lifestyle. If I wanted long days, multiple legs and short layovers, Id've gone to Southwest.

You can still have short days and make more than 18hrs. It's called a 6.5 hr min day. Sure the company might be more likely to try and eat up that time instead of paying soft time but that's not always the case. Proof being the 14hr trips that pay 18 or the 5hr two day that pays 9. I want a 4day worth 26hrs. If it only has 10hrs of flying all the better. I assume you're ex mil from some of your posts but for most of us this is our first career not a retirement gig and we're not getting a second check of govt cheddar every month. Not meant as a dig just a point of view. I certainly appreciate your service but I come here to make the most amount of money in the least amout of time. I don't want to do 5 legs any more than you but I don't want to do one leg days and get a 72hr line with 13 days off either because of it.

Absolutely nothing wrong with your position. But MY preference here would be to achieve my 18-20 hr credit in as little days as possible, then go "kick it" at home for as long as possible, MY position only, and I would never push this onto anyone.

Basically, the company promotes, "Less money, More Go",
We as pilots need to all promote "More Money, Less Go" come contract 2015
