Good thing both pilots are free to get the cab and expense it.

That’s exactly what I would do. They’re free to stand on the curb and continue to wait, I want to go to sleep.

It’s certainly cheaper that way.

Wedding days are so awesome, I want them at least 3 times in my life.

Some guys get discounts for frequent stays in the honeymoon suite at the resort, To each his own.

I don't really care how wide the tube flares behind me. Just as long as I don't have to go across 4-8 time zones and have to get my 30hrs of productive rest on the backside of the clock - bring on the long range NEO
I don't give a rat's ass as to # of aisles in the back.

Perhaps you should care. We're operating 787 capacity airplanes at less than 220 rates with an inferior night and international override.

You said you don't want to cross 4+ time zones and then say 'bring on the long range NEO'. That appears contradictory.

Mope. My message was entirely lost by my own poor writing. I meant I’ll fly baby bus on domestic ULCC routes, including longer north south trips staying +|~ 2-3 hours from base.
don’t need no transoceanic flying

Agree that we are paid less than the rest, but keep the comparison fair.
You should compare us to the legacy NBs. Yes, they have less seats, but their premium seats bring in money we will never see for a BFS. I commuted internationally, didn't have to pay the fare, but regularly saw people paying $10K for an 8 hour leg. How many of those people are going to fly on NK do you think?
