I have a 2 hour commute as a HAA pilot. With the cost of gas and renting a room for when I can't get home it's getting expensive to work. A buddy is a float pilot who gets a ride to the airport rents a car for his week on and gets plenty of sleep on his off time at the hotel, all paid for by his company. For those of you floating. What are the pro's and cons? Is it a pain living put of a suitcase or would you say it's more laid back than driving to and from each day?
