World on the other hand, has a pay only base KMCI and you are on full pay (THP, Per Diem, DH) from the moment you leave home.
To compare the two, think of World's travel from home as an online position between DFFD to LRCK. It is seen as a requirement of employment, not a benefit.

Like the aloha shirt for the (now non-existent) HNL layovers and high tech long-johns for the ANC -17 degree preflights.

Jumping the gun a little on the "non-existing HNL layovers", DC8...QFA contracted airplanes are still gonna operate until the last of the three come back to us. And my understanding is that is not until at least another year, possibly longer. So, the HNL layovers will likely continue for a little while longer...

True, because we (light twin guys) are now taking the SYD/MEL-bound freight that you guys are nice enough to bring from CVG to NRT...
And I appreciate it too, because now I can go back to one of my fav cities...SYD.
