Have to ask, were you're long haul trips with a bunk or a F/C lay flat seat?
Guys aren't stupid and the long haul w/b flying is typically the most senior stuff out there at all airlines.
1) Being able to sleep at the drop of a hat is a gift (My father in law is amazed at how quickly I can do that)
2) Long haul is senior because of the stupid way airline pay is set up. Biggest pays the most... Look at Lufthansa, where they have seniority based pay, and all the senior guys are flying turns on 737s...
Personally, I like the long haul stuff, so even if we ever went to that I would stay on the 767.. and shoelu.. you are wrong about my argument. I couldn't care less what others are doing, just arguing my POV. v169 argued his POV.. I countered. I am glad you enjoy up/down repeat.. I really am. Been there done that.
