I make enough money, it's becoming harder to justify the jump and lose weekends and summer vacation. OTOH, WB flying is more appealing in general.
if you “make enough money”, I’d stay put at NBB.

I’m at 10% NBB. I feel like things start getting good at 50%, and get a bit better/easier up to about 15%.
im starting to notice this plateau in the 10-15% range now. The senior 10% guys could be mid-level NBA or even WBA! So they (rightly) get the super primo trips.

now that I’ve hit this pseudo-plateau, I’m contemplating the move to 60-70% NBA because I know the weekends off, summer vaca, kind of stuff is right around the corner in that 50-60% range

Cool. I noticed a big difference below 50%, but it might have coincided with contractual implementation and staffing catching up in my category.

Absolutely. I was driving to work for 6 years as a NB A. Moved to a flying commute and downbid to WB B - it has been working out great. I incurred a 2 year seat lock and when its up will bid back to A, but have not decided on what equipment and base. Commuting very heavily favors WB.
