Exactly, just wish when I flew with a lifer they didn't spend 5 legs justifying why they want to stay, I'm fine with it, less competition. Personally I know a 10 year Capt at SWA who has 18 days off a month making over $200K, personal I like flying international as it is basically no work, as one UAL 74 copilot told me, as second relief all I do is make the bunk. 777 at CAL on reserve may be the best job in the Industry, all long call and my buddy had to fly to Houston three times in 9 months to stay current, he flew exactly one trip in that time. there are jobs out there with a lot more money and time off. But again each his own, glad the lifer's are happy.
