And first break going over isn't that big of a deal to me either. You'll figure out what works for you and adjust. I can tell by your enthusiasm that you are going to have a blast. There is a reason it's so senior.
I appreciate it! I’m looking forward to it. I think the folks who are negative about it either haven’t tried it or they did and didn’t do their research before hand.
I flew with this guy once, he was a NB CA, who said basically “don’t go to the 350, did you know they have trips longer than 5 days?” I started laughing because I thought he was kidding but unfortunately there are people like that who bid without doing a minute of research and they end up hating it.
I flew with another guy who told me not to go international because they only do 12 day trips. We haven’t done a 12 day since the 747 I believe haha. I figured I’d try it for myself and go from there.
