After thirteen weeks of flying in on the first Monday flight and returning back to base on the last Thursday flight to have an office day on Friday, you'll have a different view of the travel. I doubt you'll refer to it as 'jetting off'.
And you'll get to enjoy that sense of disappointment every Monday and Thursday when you get to the airport and realize that there are 80 others on the plane who have requested upgrades because you all fly every week and have the same high-level status.
