Can we all just try to get along?
Personally I think they should pay the same no matter what you fly. Seat position and DOH. So you can bid for quality of life and stay there. As you get older those long flights across time zones take more out of you. Wouldn't it be great to be able to bid north south flights in the same time zone in a 737 and be home every night and not lose pay. Leave the long haul stuff to the new kids?
Just a thought.
