I live about an hour from EWR and I'd be 52-58% on either 777 or 787. I'm looking for the option that would result in the most time at home, and the least amount of stress. Bottom line looking for the best quality of life option.
Please highlight the Good, Bad and the Ugly...
Thanks in advance and really appreciate the help.
If you can sleep on flights then it’s less stressful, bidding reserve is a good deal imo living in base. Look at what you can hold at your seniority and see if you’d like that. Some of the EWR stuff to Western Europe is too short for me for a good nap.
