There is no mention of what the job was for that required 50% travel time. There are many jobs as pointed out by others, that travel would be a normal part of the job and anyone that was really qualified for the job would have known that before they applied for the job. The company would not have even thought to put that in the ad, as qualified applicants would have known that was part of the job, and only 50% travel would be less than most travel for such a position.

I know it is business code for that, they were looking for a single person who are not interested in starting a family and want a stable secure job. I'm not their guy. Even if I was single, I don't want to get stuck in a dead end career for 10 years.
But no, I don't think they think qualified applicants should know, and it is way above normal. The extensive travel is due to them placing you in different places of the country each week. The problem is, if they mentioned it more clearly in the ad, then many applicants would not bother to apply at all.
