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.
A lot of the gripe I read on here is with either customs/immigration or cans rides with under developed roads. Which is most of the world. So middle America is fine if that’s your thing, but there is a whole world out there outside of the US that is worth exploring.
Also, AUA is a Dutch island that is a short van ride. You also clear US customs before boarding the plane back to the US. Hard to complain about the place, but some of yall made a way
Different strokes for different folks, so I get it. There is something to be said when these are the things that we debate about lol
