Exactly.
But to me personally, age doesn’t matter. I have a small kid and a wife at home, no way in this lifetime will you catch me doing a transcon commute. Life is too short, and I’m not willing to be gone more than i’m home and miss all the milestones. No thanks, someone else can have it…

Priorities count though, and if you can choose, then choose wisely.

You’ll know your base and aircraft before you start class at Delta, if you get something west coast based which is essentially everything except the 717 you have your answer. Go to Alaska and await the class email and leave from there, plenty have done it before plenty are doing it currently and they’ll be boatloads after you. Worst case you stay at Alaska and have a decent career.

Short sighted. Enjoy working the holidays for the next twenty years. Ask your Captains how kick summer vacation they hold and how many holidays off they get. Right now you can have your cake and eat it too.

Yes his priorities are great, but if EVERYONE took that tack, we'd have no viable military service as you get no choice but to leave home for longer periods of time.
Since he has the choice, I too agree that he has made a valid decision.
Beautiful thing about this career is there is a trip, path, plane, location, schedule, or company for everyone.

Your last sentence is dead on. Thank you.

You completely missed the point.
