IMO. Does it matter principally where you fly ( not with standing TEB in a snowstorm)? I know “Major” part 121 pilot that bid HNL trips only to be reassigned to a Less advantageous overnight. While all pay protection remain in place “Majors” are not specifically guaranteed the exact routing. If a “Major” part 121 pilot can chime in if I’m wrong (please do). So a lot goes back to the matter at hand QOL. It’s great having points and a plane ticket to get to work. However if I could be base with a “””Major””” in the city I live in life would be grand whether reserve or a line holder. One would think NJA would lose the QOL battle. However if you choose to live in an non “””””””Major”””””” part 121 hub I would assume NJA would with the battle 8/10 times
