Here’s what you’ll lose leaving 91K: airline points you’re too tired to use anyway, waking up at all different sides of the clock, being treated like a wayward little baby tied to a company phone, and not having a choice in your schedules (ie AM or PM).
Commuting isn’t what it used to be….One month in OAK, 1 month in LAS. OAK was doable but unpleasant, LAS was easy. PHX in month 3….that was fast. Driving to work is great, but being PM reserve and never waking up with an alarm clock is glorious. I can get a blank line but PM reserve is actually pretty good and its nothing like the old days of reserve. Once this contract settles its going to be even better. They just have to present something good.
