Of course I'm being facetious. If an AC pilot wants to live at Grand Beach, drive to YWG and hop down to YYZ to start their 4 day rounds, pay list price at the Gateway before their 2nd 4 day round, not see their family for 10 days, and get t2 days off at the beach, all the power to them. And if the want to live on Lakeshore Rd in Oakville, and fly back and forth to Windsor, home every night, and if that is what their contract and seniority bidding rights allow, who am I to GAF if TC is fine with their sleep schedule?
