Everyone here is tired of hearing how unfair it’s been for you with kids and home and your commute. Those are you “problems”, not ours.

I was mid to low seniority in my class, forced to the 756 and commuted across the country and sat reserve for easily 6-8 months longer that my senior classmates on the 737 or Airbus. I did not give a rats ass once at how the dust settled with fleet assignments. I was at my dream job and on the path to making a boat load of money, flying piece of cake trips on an awesome fleet with great crew members and still being home more than I ever was as a commuter at a regional.
