I never minded working a day or 2 more per month because many times I landed in base at 10a, and was out the next day at 9a. That time off felt like a day off still.
when on reserve, it is hard to get jacked around because once you hit the hub, there is so little you can do with your remaining flight time.
SFO777 looks to be my dream bid. Hawaii, domestic, and good intl if you want that.
I know alot of people say EWR 757 is the best flying in the system. But I think SFO777 is better. More efficient trips, more regional variety. in the 757, you are pretty much going to Europe (and to be fair, they do go to alot of the smaller markets which can be nice) where as the 777 is europe, asia, OZ, NZ. Syd is 28 hour 4 day, late show and early release 58 hours away. Obviously senior, but i often see more junior pilots able to trade into it.
