One thing I do love about it is the charter flying gives some variety and long layovers in cool spots you normally won’t do on the fleet, for example you can get long Canada layovers on NBA or NHL charters (I have a 30 hour Toronto I wanted so I could go to Maple Leafs game).

also it’s almost all big cities, so you don’t get many of the “regional” airports almost at all. I also like big city downtown layovers. It’s hard to say what the next few years look like on the fleet with the neos, they want to cut the overall total NM down by 500 I think is what they said on the townhall recently. One thing I’ve noticed is they say something then the bids a few months later show something else or they need relief with 757 or 767 to do something for a few months (like taking back London from JFK and SEA for a couple months for example).

I have enjoyed flying the airplane and there is good stuff but just know a good chunk of the ATL trips are pretty long days, lots of legs, and Florida shuttles. Hope that gives you a decent idea
