My good friends there seem to have a lot of positive things and some not so pleasant things to say about their daily life on the line.

Gosh, sure sounds like we all have a lot in common. Bunch of good people trying to make an honest and have a nice time away from home while doing so.

As for the guy coming on here bragging about his 767 trips to Europe or holding a guppy Captain seat with his few years here... big deal dude. Flying 5 trips to Europe a month isn’t the definition of living the dream and there is a reason why captain seats on the NB are going so junior. Clearly the pay is not worth the sacrifice of wearing a 4th stripe at a legacy airline. Let’s all be humble and grateful we are all here seeing our industry surging forward.
