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.
You can get copious time off at pax majors, easily 4-6 weeks straight once a year if you strategize vacation and bidding. And you'll have nonrev benefits.
After having done world travel for my entire adult life I now prefer to have time to acclimate to the local time zone so I can then enjoy myself. If you're just bouncing across multiple time zones at widebody speed, you're probably going to experience your layovers through a fog of jetlag. Worth noting that there are some folks who adapt to that much better than others, maybe you're one of them?
