I'm middle of the pack on the 737. I can hold international on larger aircraft in my base. I choose not to because of the lifestyle the 737 affords. Guys senior to me aren't going anywhere, either. It's all about lifestyle.
I have noticed that it also pays more than the similarly sized A320 which is the 737s direct competitor(per APC). Why is that?
