nah I hear you. It really is the brutal reality. I’ll
never have it as good as I had it schedule wise at NK. There is simply no comparison. Just saying there are ways to mitigate the pain and suffering. I blocked like 50hrs from June 1 to Sep 1 😂😂. I used to do one Legger EWR-MYR Y-LIST for what I make my entire month at UAL. Ahhh the Good old Days!

The average F9 or NK dude blows away 99% of Big-3 airbus line dudes (not their fault....gentlemanly AQP) and recites overhead panel knowledge in his sleep

ask Big-3 "what triggers" the RAT to come out and you will get deer in the headlights

gotta love it

At big-3 every type is just a stepping stone until the next system bid. Most don't get that intimate with them.
