I mean….. joke all you want but I don’t think any airline pilot in the US has been home more with their kids than me . Definitely don’t have a Delta PS check waiting for me in February though 😭

is it possible at other airlines? Everyone says yes but alllllll of my airline friends at other airlines are always working or can’t swap around. These aren’t junior guys either….

It all depends on seat and base. So you can't just say "oh I have a few friends" and that means everyone at every legacy only live at the airport. I have a friend who is a new hire 787 FO at UAL and he hasn't been called off reserve in 3 months. We need to seriously stop with this BS that only NK pilots get to drop trips, be at home, and see kids. Biggest lie ever sold from our MEC.

Widebody stuff ebbs and flows. With Russian airspace, TLV, changing which fleets fly where there will always be people who hit it just right and get to stay home. I am at UAL and every Spirit guy I know loves their schedule. There are people that are glued to their phones here at united trying to get what they want and they still aren’t able to pull everything they want.

Same way here for the junior guys. It's even better right now since we have so many airplanes parked. NK guys just love to boast about their schedule to try and make themselves feel better about how hillariously sad we are underpaid. No joke I've even see someone here tell a guy that if he wan'ts to get paid the same as his peers he should "play the stock market".

Tremendous amounts of Copium gets consumed.

Please quote me saying that.

you’re so triggered by every poster and so obnoxious with your responses and histrionics you can’t even keep straight who you’re arguing with.

I mean you jumped into the conversation to add no contex other than "dO yOu HeAr YoUrSeLf". So I assumed you were taking the same side and had something substancial to add to the converstation. My asumptions were wrong.

Ok, Not being called on Reserve is not a day off, lol. I highly dislike when people categorgize it as that. You arent free to be, or do whatever you want.

Day trip-only line? How many day trips do you do per month?

And what you gonna do when ACY closes after the merger? ;)

I like 2 Days, lol. Either Drive an hour to Newark or 7 hrs to JFK. :(
