Not true, you don’t have to IMAX to get good QOL. Honestly, most important thing is learn the contract, learn the scheduling tools (PBS, TTS, DOTC), learn to analyze what you can do at your seniority using the PBS Award Report. Also use that report to choose your base if you commute and have options. Figure out the best way to bid a reserve schedule. I’ve flown with many CA’s, and surprisingly many FO’s that have no clue how to bid their schedule, they also don’t care about even trying to improve it.
