For years, thousands of Newfoundlanders commuted back and forth to Alberta's oil patch, working three or four weeks at a time and bringing home plump paycheques.

Darryl Day used to fly from Gander to Alberta and back — 22 days out, 13 days back home. He was recruited at a job fair in Newfoundland six years ago to drive heavy machinery for a hydraulic fracturing company. Those were the "good times." 4 a, p' M1 W& u7 |0 C' K22天在工作,13天回家休息。

Darryl and Bev Day are better off than many. He got a new trucking job nearby, earning about one-third of his pay in Alberta. They had put some of their "oil money" away, unlike some younger workers, who went cheque to cheque.
