Sometimes you have to be there to realize it , though. Be thankful for what you got, I guess.

No consolation to the guys that won't be able to see it or those who will see it for just a short time due to bad dal scope.
I totally hear ya man. I always wanted to fly a tri-jet internationally for as long as I could remember and I was fortunate to have had the chance to fly an MD-11 for 8 months at an ACMI cargo company between getting out of the Air Force and getting hired at Southwest. I saw 5 continents and 30 countries in the matter of 5 months and while it was super cool at first there was not a moment that I wouldn't have rather been at home with my family on our boat. International wide body flying is cool, but in my opinion the novelty of everything eventually wears off and if it's something that takes you away from your family, friends, and hobbies it will always be a job. I do like the idea of the schedule that comes with Legacy widebody flying though.
