Yes Joe, I would do it again.
If you are a 737 FO you'll love it. If you come from 777 or 75/76 then you'll love being CA but hate the 737-800. It is awful.
I enjoy taxxiing the airplane. Occasionally on the triple someone would let me taxi, a blind monkey can taxi a 777. It's that effortless.
For me it was 19 years and 1 month since I was PIC and I missed taxiing. I enjoy making flight plan decisions and solving problems as nicely as possible, and in an enjoyable manner for everyone.
I try to and am nice to everyone. I do take easy Q's at the gate when printing the flight plan to help the gate agents. Only easy Q's though.
The new reserve system works much better than older leveling systems.
The 737D CA's work less than us 737I CA's.
I live in Ft laud so it is manageable for me. I get premium every month and turn lots of it down.
I only did LC last Nov and Dec and I liked it because those were slow months sort of. And I could plan better things like tennis and women LOL
I might, it'll be close get a line with PBS in Feb 2017.
Private message me your number and I can tell you more.
