It pays more, and depending on contractual work rules can be a decent lifestyle. I won’t deny that, but it would have to be carefully negotiated from jump street.

I was humbled when I first started doing that kind of flying, there’s a huge learning curve, and the relative sensible order of US airspace/airports, and the relaxed RT doesn’t help prepare us. There is an appeal to flying big plane far, and I get that. If I hadn’t done it before I would be interested. Since I’ve ticked that box, I can say I don’t wish to again, especially not at NK, and if we ever get big planes here then the rest of you guys can fill you boots and I’ll happily do turns to Asheville for ya.
