Preface: this isn’t a swipe at CRJ. He and I were at Atlas together and I know he has 737 time. More a commentary on the cult of Airbus at AA.

But hey, now we’re talking about the real quality of life issues lol. Get home every once in a while to see the wife and kids? Nah, f that and those guys, can’t fly the 73. That’s for Boeing peasants.

I say all this as a guy typed on both and working on the 320 here. Though in my defense as an unrepentant seniority wh*re (since seniority *is* QOL at AA), I'm in the one base where the 320 is - AFAIK - junior, and I’d fly a clapped out DC-3 or a 414 if it paid $217 an hour+ and got me the schedule I want.

It’s a job - nothing more, nothing less. The particular office? Nearly meaningless. And this job is far better and far more lucrative than many of the alternatives.
