I'm not sure about the incoherant question about nights in my own bed. I spend all of them in my own bed. I'm sure you love being a widebdy pilot. How many years did it take to hold that? I'm holding 320 captain in well under 2 years.
You appear to assume I have no knowledge of legacy life. I had a crash pad full of United guys at my old regional. It didn't sound as good to me as what I have now. Whatever works for you, knock yourself out.
Calm down buddy. I'm responding to you. I didn't come on here bashing Allegiant.
YOU are the one that lit into 777 flying like it was the worst thing imaginable. My food comment was in direct response to you saying we eat airport food all the time, when that's rarely, if ever the case.
If my question about nights in one's own bed was incoherent, I apologize. My meaning is that with the huge efficiency on the 777 or 747 and things like that, it's very easy to get 18,19,20 days off. I like my overnights. It's like a free mini-vacation. But I do know guys like you seem to be, who don't want any part of it. They bid nothing but day trips, which, by-the-way, you can do here too if you've got the seniority.
And no, having crash pad mates doesn't mean you know what it's like. You have to actually do it to know. Some guys hate it. They are the small minority, but they exist. It's not for everybody, for sure. The beauty is, you can always bid to domestic, no problem.
How many years did it take to hold that? Well new hires are getting the ER and our most junior narrowbody captain is a 2014 hire, so....for now....not long at all.
