You've seen my block times so you can guess. It sounds like you're really reaching to show how much life is so much better at your company than an ULCC company. Even though it doesn't matter to me, since i'm just putting out info to help out to those interested instead of saying one is better than the other. How many times do i look at flights and how often am I in the jumpseat? really? are you going dig that deep? I would say once a month which is no big deal since my commute is about an 1.5 hrs and most of the time it's on my own airline (There's 11-15 flights total a day). I list for the JS ahead of time. If I don't get on the first (which is rare) I make it on the 2nd time on my own or the company buys me a ticket. We may not have the lounge access but I just go in, do my 3-4 day trip and go home. I rather have the extra money I make than hotel points, airlines miles and so on. The great thing is I can manipulate my schedule how I want as a line holder, so days between trips is irrelevant because it change monthly. I can take as much time I want off, since I can drop to 0. If you are more excited about airline miles hotel points and lounges, over extra pay, DC, LTD schedule flexibility, that's fine. One big thing that you didn't mention is, we sell our own tickets and don't have to rely on contract like the regionals, which was the biggest stress relief when i left the regionals.
No, not reaching for better.... just different. I don't think either is better than the other. The differences are mostly QOL depending upon personal needs. It wasn't worth starting the fight so I deleted it. I see you couldn't just let it go.
