And this is just the beginning. JL says news on a fleet update is coming soon. (99% 737 MAX announcement IMO)

Absolutely not. 2 leg commutes are a horror show

Heck, I wouldn't even one-leg commute (1.5 hour leg with 6-7 flights/day on DAL) just to stay a WB FO on the last displacement bid. Two things that make this job great for me...being in my car driving home within minutes of setting the parking brake and sitting SC from home. I have yet to see the inside of a crashpad, here's hoping that never changes. But whatever works for the individual, another reason this is such a great gig. Somebody has to fly those back to back to back, 0500 departures out of NYC.
