I guess bottom line is each individual has to decide what is important to them. If having an 18 hour layover in a warmer locale is worth dealing with latin american ATC, customs, immigration, and working in a less comfortable environment, then I guess the 737 is right for them.
I agree entirely. I’d rather be conus personally and avoid the hassle. But I’m also a sicko because I enjoy the DSM/OMA/GRR layovers all the regional guys hate more than I enjoy dealing with customs and a twice divorced captain with a captive audience over the WATRS. To each their own.
