Let me guess. You've flown the guppy for most of your career.
Lots of time in other jets too ranging from the 727 to the 777. I don't care what I fly, it's about the balance between days off and money. Here at United the powers that be decided to go with the 737 to cover the vast majority of the NB flying. Being that as I got older I found that life on the wide bodies was creating too much fatigue, I went with the fleet that would provide the most options to build the schedule of my choice. I'd much rather be able to do that on something else, but that isn't the case at this company. I'd agree that other planes are more comfortable, modern, automated......, but if I lived in a 737 only base there is no way that I'd commute just to fly a nicer plane. That's just me though. It's nice to work for a company with options.
