I agree, mostly...TAFB is a better indicator than just flying hours. Excessive airport sit generally sucks...but I do enjoy a 1.5 hr sit at mealtimes.

Also, some aircraft/airlines do offer more choices than either 6-7 legs a day OR airport sit. You probably know the FedEx deal...but my bro at CAL flies the 757 and his 4 day trips are mostly 6 leg 4 days...5-7 hour legs of reading a book/newspaper...not much airport sit at all...more time at hotels. Some of his destinations are pretty exotic.

Each his own...SWA is ideal for a lot of guys--especially ex mil guys who have seen the world already. Not sure a straight civilian guy who spent his whole regional life flying short domestic would enjoy doing nothing else...Each his own. Again, SWA is an excellent job!
