Not me. Senior on the 737 has its advantages too. 18 days a month off, less if you want to pick something up, no more that 3 hour time difference no matter where you go. Add SRM into the mix and a lot of our guys are making more than they would be as Mid to Junior widebody Captain. To each their own but after doing the International stuff for over 15 years, I enjoy doing turns and easy Hawaiian island flying over the long haul stuff.
That being said, from an F/O point of view the junior flying absolutely sucks out here and like I did, I'd stay an F/O and hold off the upgrade until I could hold the better quality stuff. |

Junior 737 SFO Capt showing 10,068 today.
Getting very, very close for me at about 5.5 years. Great for everybody to have choices. But commuting, especially to reserve, is a no go. It does look like on this trajectory NB CA will stay junior to WB FO as far as Jr Lineholder for a while. But what if WB FO on reserve in base becomes available? Throw me in that briar patch. Good times for everybody. Hope it continues. Congrats to all. |
Final results are posted. Junior Capt is SFO 737 at 9962. Congrats!

Not seeing it, may have been pulled.

Care to explain? I find it to be the least stressful, most enjoyable flying we do on the gupster. Even comes with a layover in a place a whole lotta people pay to go vacation.

Well, the guppy's work area is the worst of any United fleet for pilots. Small, ancient, loud, slow. A long flight in that torture chamber is not what I'd consider stress free or enjoyable. YMMV.

Can't disagree with any of that but it's still the easiest flying we do on the whistling sh!tbox. YMMV :D
Having a jumpseater on one of those flights would suck. I can't imagine what it would be like with 2 jumpseaters. :eek: |
