Yep. Funny thing is, while the FOs were senior, their overall seniority wasn't uber-senior. One was mid 400s, other low 600s. As someone mentioned here, the 400s guy was a LGB CA before downgrading 6 years ago. He made more money and had more time off and schedule flexibility as the FO than he did when he was CA. Even dealing with a Transcon commute to BOS.

There's money and QOL to be had at all seniority levels. Some better than others, obviously but you need to be creative and know your work rules and how to exploit them to your benefit.
