Can anyone talk to the different type of lines you'll do at LGA/MIA/LAX? Any differences between the 3?

The simple solution is to buy a reliable used car in MIA (make sure the AC works). This gives you a lot of flexibility on crash pads. Plus there are a lot of interesting places to see in MIA like Little Havana. Couple of years from now you can sell it for what you paid.

Then next step is a FA girlfriend & you're set.

LAX has Hawaii. East coast trips are easier on your body than west coast trips. The sun comes up in the east, and sets in the west, for as long as I've been in the industry. The sun matters. LAX trips look fine on paper and then you convert them to home time and suddenly the 0800 departure on the east coast feels like 0500.

MIA does a bunch of Caribbean flying. December-April Caribbean flying is the best flying in the industry. But every other flight is a bag drag through customs. You get to know the ICE guys by name after awhile.

Maybe you suck at flying. I've flown it and find it elementary in all aspects. Sorry it's a little too much machine for your wimpy ass.

I apologize. I don't want to trigger you. But maybe some insight into what exactly sucks about the 737 so I can dispute.

Why it sucks has been beat to death. Small cockpit, loud, poor HVAC, no tray table, no side stick.

Same as the hundred other posts on the subject.

You are such a stud. Only real men like you can handle it.

Ouch. The ole "you sound like a real peach of a guy" response. I'm hurt. Course there is always that guy who has to throw out that response. And he is usually a pretty insecure type, but I digress.

We can do this all day or you or your butt buddy can explain what exactly sucks about the 737. If you cant, then I will continue to believe you are just wimps who somehow got their ass kicked by the 73. I get sick of people who supposedly love to fly indicting a perfectly fine airplane with "it sucks". And dont come with "its noisy". BFD. A nice headset cures that. BTW, military fighters are noisy but I dont categorize them as "sucking".
