Aside from Hawaii, I haven’t found that to be a big deal. On most of my trips, coming from the West Coast, I don’t really have enough time or daylight to explore too much anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether I’m in Boston or Omaha. There are two big ways in which the 737 is better though, in my opinion: there are many more pilots to trade in and out of trips with, and the 73 usually flies one leg less a day than the bus. But the bus is more comfortable. Good luck!
Great info thanks man. Just trying to find the quickest way to get the most days off as soon as possible.
I’m on the bus at my current shop and I absolutely love the thing. But if it’s a difference in getting the days off I want and not, might have to suck it up!
