Considering that the pay is basically the same, I’ll take the junk jet with the better schedule.
I only corrected an incorrect statement. You are correct in that they pay the same and one has much better schedules. If it weren't for the seat lock I would consider moving over (FL commuter as well). However, I'm also one who doesn't really mind where I layover, nor is my toxic masculinity tied to the airframe I fly (call it Fifi, or Guppy, or whatever and it will only solicit a chuckle from me). And yes, the old jets need the brightness turned up.
