The flying is sooo much easier than NB flying. Almost always just one flight per day. If the trip's augmented, I get paid to sleep on the flight.
Both the money's better and I can fly more hours per month because I don't feel like crap after flying an ID. But that's not a factor.
Line or reserve doesn't matter; QOL on widebodies is better than NBs. I have gone between bottom lineholder and reserve for a long time.
