They had their chance to make this a legit world class airline but greed and Lorenzoitis compelled them to set this course and now we are over open water and out of gas. Time to get your ditching checklist organized.

The lifestyle differences between the 76 and the 74 are very different.
76: Standard hub and spoke flying. Far more domestic flying. The senior guys get to do the overseas trips.
74: Leave America on Day 1 and usually don’t see America until last day (night if you are HSV based) of the trip. Point to point flying usually, until you land in India without a Visa, d’oh!
On the 74 we have a studio apartment. Office at the front, bathroom and kitchen next, then the living room, and finally the bedrooms. Downstairs there is the garage. And below that is the basement.
IMHO, Just enjoy what you have, it sure beats working at the regionals.

Precisely. I watched a lot of people screw up their lives in the USAF by trying to game the system on their form 90s (dream sheets) based on what they thought was going or not going to happen. Rarely did that turn out well.
