That’s the truth!😳 Glad I got my international flying jollies out of my system. I'm fine with just transcons now. Rather that than all LHR. But I will need to trade to make them commutable. That’s at 12 yrs.😎

If our training center was in El Segundo, making our long training accommodations in Redondo Beach…..I’d do it. But 16th street mall……that juice ain’t worth the squeeze.

This is true. I thought about 756FO (I'd be pretty darn senior) but looked at the SFO bid packages. Ah, no thank you...

If you want to be in EWR going to LHR all the time…. Yeah, no thanks. I’ve had better trips as a junior guppy CA than junior EWR756CA.

Had a buddy get stuck with being a junior 756CA forgetting to pull their bid.

LHR ... if only. EWR 756 has a substantial domestic component. Plug there will get forced into a line doing a bunch of Basic ANF.

Global reserve on the 756 or lineholder on the737/320. Easy decision. The 756 is a paycut in aggregate. Unless you live in base and need your ego stroked there’s no reason to suffer that life.
