I think our flying schedules are quite simple compared to a major airline. And since we, thankfully, don't have PBS, you can't build your own schedule like you can at an airline with PBS. That is up to the company and the SIG. You only get to pick your line, or play the lottery in our own version of PBS.
I have. Had a big blue and gold globe on the tail. Would take FDX line bidding/conflict/vacation over their PBS any day.
I think there really is something for everyone here. Fly PM out and backs here, would take a decade or more in the right seat of the 737 or Airbus to even get close there. And still, it wouldn’t be all out and backs. Double DH’s? No way there. One trip a month 777? Good luck holding that anytime soon at the U.
