Even worse if they actually use phrases like, "if we give it to you, we'd have to give it to other employees."

Last time, weren't some on the MEC "against" the TA, yet opted to send it to the pilot group anyway?

And when you can finally hold a line you'll have to gut out trips that have a heavy influence of retired Maddog and Minidog flying.

NYC73N flying might be the best kept secret at the Widget. I should be quiet but I'm going to around 40% after this last AE with the Widebody AE still to come.

If you can handle the commute which is really pretty easy from most points the base and flying is excellent. Did it for 2.5yrs junior 73NA and loved it most days. I even managed long call from home in the Midwest without missing a trip [emoji6], but scheduling and staffing wasn’t as bad back then

Yup, especially if you commute from a city in close proximity with a decent amount of flights. I would not recommend NYC73NA to West Coasters and absolutely would not recommend to anyone with a double leg commute

Reading this forum is definitely insightful as I’m trying to decide between Southwest or Delta.

Double leg commutes are the devil. Most draining thing I’ve done in a long time. Damn near need to commute in the day prior.

On a separate but same note, is PNS to LGA a seasonal flight? Just noticed it the other day.

What is it that you find interesting about LUV? I'm genuinely curious as after my 6 years on the 737, I had had enough of that. Of course the 71 hours in the Tokyo Hilton layover isn't exactly all that great at the moment, but if you have a long career ahead of you, you had better love the 737. I know that some of the LUV guys will come on here and tell you how great it is and all that, but variety is the spice of life.
