I am only 20 so please forgive me for I don’t know everything about the career but for me flying huge jets as early as possible and traveling the world is one of my life’s missions. Whatever company I can get to that helps me with that goal I’m all in.
Don't chase the plane, or the layovers. The one the pays the most with the most time off is the one you want. If that's a pc-12 or a 747 no one after a year or so cares.
The layovers change. And when they're only 14 hours, or much much worse, 24 hours long, you don't really have any time to do anything but eat and sleep anyways. If you want to travel, travel. Doing it via an airline job isn't a good way to travel and experience anything.
