If we had LOS for pay, I think those WB jobs would go very junior. Why would anyone beat the crap out of their body for the same pay as just flying easy domestic NB stuff?
Sure it's 9 on/21 off but ya gotta remember, the first couple of days off are spent just recuperating and getting back on your time zone sleep schedule.
I'm with ya, I tried intl for 4 years and it absolutely trashed me. Once I switched back to NB domestic I was never even remotely as tired as I was doing the Europe/SA stuff.
Intl should really should be done at a younger age. Once you hit your 40s you should ideally start ratcheting down the long haul flying to where you're only flying easy domestic turns your last few years prior to retirement.

I believe BA has LOS pay.
That is why you see so many young captains on the 777's that come to the US.
The senior pilots are flying daytime turns out of LHR on the 320, and are home every night.

Actually the 320 at BA is very junior. About 1 year to hold LGW 320 CA. The reason you see young 777 CAs at BA is because half the fleet is widebody aircraft and most pilots are hired in their early 20's. So that 45 year old 777 CA probably has over 20 years of service.

Like UPS (well UPS does do Capt/FO rates), you get paid purely based on your Length of Service (LOS), not what or where you fly.
Sort of like the way the military does it.
Consequently, pilots bid the type of flying / schedule they most enjoy without worry of leaving pay behind due to the size of their aircraft.
