VFR is OK, but if you are needing to travel on a schedule,
IFR is essential anytime the weather is MVFR and you can't
see the ridges or the towers.

Very true. And even IFR there are days you're not going to be flying
anywhere in a Spam can.

Luckily, the schedules I fly on are usually quite "soft" and allow for
a fair degree of flexibility.
