737 has a little bit of everything, thought it’s weighted to 4 day trips. Seniority progression is F-A-S-T, and being local, I was doing either what I wanted or when I wanted by the time I was about 65% in base, or maybe 12-18 months. My preferred method was Hawaii and Florida in the winter and cool places in the NE in the summer. Plus, you’d get to fly with me, and after seeing the influencer stuff going on in the haircut thread, you could get in on the ground floor of my new influencing gig.
Driving to work is great, driving to work in a junior base (if you can stomach the locale) is king. Where would you be living?
Nice, how many days off does that entail up to and at the 65% mark? I’m coming from 4 on 2 off and 11 days off a month so anything is better, just trying to get an idea. Well I don’t know where we’d be living yet because I haven’t been assigned a base. Prefer LA and to live south of LAX if possible but would totally be open to anywhere nice within the 2.5 hr driving distance of either SFO or LAX if it means I can be comfortable on reserve when I’m on it, then when I have a line, have one with a lot of days off and opportunity to pick up extra. Lol I’ll buy all the beers on the trip if I don’t have to participate in any influencing.
