Definitely going 7ER. Good variety on that fleet.
Always has been.
I don't know, when I was talking with my 73 buddy the other day I mentioned he might want to wait a bit. Once they start littering the carribean airports with broken airbi, there might be a change

. He always thought the reason the NY 73 guys had a capture on that flying was the crazy reliability of the 73. It just goes and goes and goes. I guess network has a different idea. Whatever, not in my wheelhouse.
For you I would get to the WB stuff as quickly as possible. It's a whole other world. I know some say they don't like it becasue they can't sleep, or timezones, or whatever. I've been doing it for a long time and I'll tell you time zones (other than coming from Asia back to USA) aren't a big thing for me. Those 4 leg bangers for 3 days + in the -88 (I was younger then) took more out of me than an int'l trip does that's for sure!
Regardless, I've been here awhile. Network is always swapping flying around. That is one constant. When I talk to junior folks I remind them of this. BES seniority drive lots of things as you know. Sometimes one has to look at like it's just a job, and in a few days you'll be home again. How much you're home depends on you and your seniority in your BES.
