Factor the risk of being number 15,000 on the seniority list when and if a down turn occurs. Flying pax for a US carrier vs Cargo too. I went from Pax to Cargo for a year and a half before moving overseas. I didn’t think I’d make through OE. After the first week, I said to myself, what was I thinking? Cargo is the way to go… No hassle, no fuss, no muss. It’s disturbiing to hear how often and how many diversions occur due to disruptive pax.

Think long and hard before making the jump to pax ops.
