IMO the trip quality is substantially different. the 737 has nice Hawaii and Mexico layovers, you can’t get that on the bus.
The bus is also severely understaffed on the coasts. Unless your seniority is better than 50% you’re gonna be doing a 87-90 hour line, and you won’t be able to trade or drop anything.
ANF depends on your base. SFO bus does more redeyes than every other airbus base combined.
I love the airbus but when I see my friends on the 737 with their 30 hour CUN layovers I feel quite envious!
