Totally. I was telling my FO last trip (I’m a 737 CA) that if we were at SW you’d better get used to it, as that’d be your career.
I’m downgrading to 787 FO in October because I only want one leg a day with long overnights. Maybe I’ll come back as a 737 CA or maybe I’ll just wait it out and upgrade on the WB.
Options and variety are good. Flying the 737 for a career would give me mental problems.
