Probably some 777 FOs can give you a idea of QOL and pay. I had a friend on it a few years “fo” back and with the occasional extension and grid payments he was making close to if not narrow body captain pay.

They take good Airbus trips and when they move them to 767 bid back they combine it with other crap to make more efficient crap. Most trips I have in 767 are just a little shy of paying block time. A lot of 25 hour trips with 23 hours of block. So glad we gave up 8 in 24.

Go be a 777 FO. QOL and pay. Problem solved

I’m always learning but looking at the pay rate I noticed 215/hr 15yr 777FO and 262/hr 15yr 757 CA so wondering how the 47/hr difference is made up. Does one sacrifice QOL To make up the difference?

. The big BUT is if you can't sleep on the plane. Otherwise, no brainier. The QOL question I don't understand. You work less and get paid more, not to mention the occasional bump.
