Alot of what we do is night flying and it can be really awful to push yourself through a three legger starting at 10pm and finishing at 6am.
Sometimes I miss walking through the terminal, getting my Cuban coffe, do a Barranquilla turn and be don in the afternoon. I can easily understand why some would chose to go legacy. Yet I’m here.

The night sort flying is just one aspect. On the international side the problem becomes body clock flip flops and 24h layovers which many outsiders don’t realize is rough. I think on balance our flying is quite a bit more challenging sleep wise than the legacy type flying. For some that means a qol improvements at the passenger carriers.

From the anecdotes I’m familiar with, most leave within the first few years. However, we have seen 6 year FOs from United and a 7 year Capt from Delta. Covid definitely spurred some of this. For the most part, the guys who do this we’re always targeting UPS and simply took the first great job offer at a legacy while they waited for UPS to call. I’m sure we have some guys doing the same thing in the other direction. Although, once UPS hooks you on the high pay, narrow body can be a tough pill to swallow.
