QOL would happen much quicker in Memphis in the back of the 727. Waht is you husbands name?
No out and backs from Anchorage...unless you consider the ANC-EWR, 25 hours in EWR, then EWR-ANC an out and back.
Living in domicile anywhere, you will have a higher QOL than a commuter...hands down. More days off (or at least more hours off), flexibility in bidding your schedule, drive from your home to the airport (as opposed to driving from a hotel or crashpad), not having to jumpseat in then operate a trip, etc., etc.
Some from the next training class are also going straight into the right seat of the 727 in MEM. But who knows what the company has planned in the coming months?
