Now I understand why the regional guys don't like it when I go on their thread (even though I used to work at said regional) and try to tell them how much better Alaska is than where they are. Is big Daddy D better? Yeah, sure, why not. It's probably marginally better. Better enough to chuck all my seniority and upend my whole life to go there just so I can beat my chest and strut the airport in my sub commander outfit? No.

My schedule is great. My pay is great. It's not perfect. Leave us alone.
