Even things as trivial as ETOPS/nonETOPS have their effects. It isn’t just payscale that affects QOL, particularly if you desire to live near a certain base.
AS/VX had 737s and A320s. They were different types but the same category.

Personally, looking forward to the new airline and scoring a top end JCBA
Best advice to give to guys on their first merger; it will be ok, breathe.
Well said
