Even some of the most junior in ATL or NYC have been able to grind out 6-9 days of GS pay (or more) the last couple of months. Flipping the switch back to an almost exclusively international category has left the company without the requisite FO to CA ratio and FOs are in shorter supply. YMMV.
How common are longer than 4 day trips in general? If I get the job I'll be looking at the best way to get into SEA, so that would be probably a 737 bid
