Hella, optimized.

I know 3 IPA folk who have spouses flying at 5X. Consensus is that it’s basically the same schitt, different color. Some of their contract points are better and vice versa. Which one is actually better is all in the preferences of that person.

Sounds like most 74 ANC flying is international. How'd the SDF 74 flying? Are the trips shorter duration? Or are the SDF and ANC lines similar? I searched for this but couldn't find much. I have a UPS CJO with a 7 Nov class date, which I've been told is a "heavy" class and that I'll most likely be going 74s to ANC. Just seeing what the life is like. I'm also new here.
