There’s a lot of qualifiers there to make your job “easy”. We had a fleet like that at Flex before it was retired. It doesn’t make the experience representative of the whole.
To a man (woman), everyone I’ve known who’s left the 91k world for the 121 world comments profusely about how much easier the job is, and none have expressed interest to go back. The reverse is seldom true.

As one who left he latitude for SWA, I can confirm what is being said. SWA is far and away a less fatiguing job. Just finished a 6 on, 1 off, 4 on stretch(self induced before anyone jumps on that) and am less tired after that stretch than I ever was after a week tripnon the latitude. YMMV, but one mans opinion. It was he right move to jump ship, not for all, but was right for my family and I.

I would think this is true if you live in base, if you haver to commute then I would disagree, commuting was the reason I went to NJA. SWA is a great company, would not knock it what so ever!

I commute for my airline and I can say this job is by far less tiring than NetJets. Manner of fact, this is the easiest job I have ever had. The commute argument doesn't mean much with all the great commuter clauses airlines have. Plus the scheduling flexibility and the ability to swap/drop trips, makes commuting not that big of an issue anymore. Currently on 2nd year pay and making the same if not more than I was on 10 year FO pay at NetJets (72 hour schedule).
Everyone's situation is different, but I wish I left a lot earlier. I still have a lot of friends at NetJets and wish nothing but the best for you guys. You guys deserve so much more for what you deal with each day.
