Wow! Only 2-3 legs, and there are a few passengers in first class? Man what was I thinking. I bet they even have flight attendants, those lucky dogs. I have heard the Holiday Inn in Dubuque Iowa is beautiful this time of year, a real vacation destination.
I’ve done both types of flying, although I was a lowly turboprop regional pilot, and I will tell you not only did I triple what made at my regional, but long haul flying is by far the EASIEST job I’ve ever had. long haul doesn’t agree with everyone, it appears it doesn’t agree with you. Best of luck in your job hunt somewhere else.
