There are some 24 hour night layovers in West coast cities that you can definitely enjoy and have a good time, not many, but definitely some. Just like a few 24 hr East coast layovers.

I recently left B6 for UPS and have zero regrets. I was happy at JetBlue and would have been ok had UPS not called. So far, UPS has been a better environment. Considering that 2nd year pay is double that of the E190 at JetBlue and the better retirement, it was a no brainer for me. Another huge plus is the lack of Inflight to deal with.

If your definition of “fun” is having time for a good meal and a long run then you’ll have plenty of fun here. Even domestically. Fantastic group of pilots. However, if your definition of fun is going out drinking and partying then no...you won’t get that here. When I first got here (14 years ago) my buddies would ask what it was like and my reply was “it’s like I went to rehab”. So truly look at what you’re looking for. That said, best job ever.

I find what skek said above to be totally opposite my experience here on the international side of the house.

Ask any ANC guy what it’s like. It’s a whole other world out of that base.

Wha...?

What fleet are you on? I need to remove your fleet from my preferences.
I don’t need to party every night but it’s nice to have the option of hanging out with my buds.. ..and yes, the option seems to be readily available.
