So you are spending money and time and getting back an improved quality of life. I can understand this approach, but as I have to do X amount of work anyway, I think the extra non productive time would be the killer. By using my local airports and being “slick” with the system I have ironed out a lot of time and managed to utilize most of what is left. I would just have to spend 2 – 3 hours working the night before if I flew myself, which I would consider a reduction in my QOL
.
LOL, you will have to do more than that to convince me!! I never work on my own time thats what QOL is all about. It is the reason why I don't like to get up at an ungodly hour!! You are just trying to convince me that slick use of dead time at commercial airports is better than fitting everything in a normal sociable hours day. It won't happen!!!
GA gives me great utility and great productivity as well as improving the quality of my life by keeping freeing more time for me!
