Doubt anyone has an entire world view of this.

But as a 737 guy, I can tell you about that.

Been based in the midwest for about a year. Seniority progression has been good in the past year I currently am bidding about 50% in base.

Can bid commutable trips, trip trading works well. Occasionally can drop trips.

Trip mix is generally 2 legs per day (sometimes 3, and rarely i’ve seen 4), 20-24 hours of credit for a 4 day. Some trips have 1 red eye on the go home leg which is nice for commuting purposes. Also, some trips exist that have a redeye in the middle and it’s normally a short AM flight, short layover, work the redeye flight outbound on the same calendar day (dayover).

Fair mix of domestic layovers, you’ll normally get a long layover on one day and a short on the other two. Depending on the base you can get a lot of latin america/carribean flying if that’s your thing. I avoid it for the most part. I’ve hit most of the system including the Azores, but not hawaii, south america, or alaska on this fleet.

So overall, decent QOL. Not the most efficient credit but plenty reasonable. You’ll find commutable trips generally have bad credit/short layovers but that’s just how things are unfortunately.
