Yeah, sorry, my 3000ish number was strictly for the 330. I wish the 765 would have stayed 100% international. I almost jumped on that over a year ago and glad I didn’t. Right after the AE was closed that I could have held it the 2 day non commutable trips started showing up. Now I’m headed to the 330 and excited about it.

The NYC 765 2-day domestics were in the bid packet in the winter of 2016-17 and were commutable on one end. That was when cracks started to show in the “Juniority”.
The 2-days went away the summer of 2017, but returned ‘permanently’ (I.e. year-round) in the fall of 2017. Except now they were uncommutable on both ends. I knew more than a few pilots who bailed on the category solely because it. That’s when when the juniority dam broke open, and has never looked back. It has continued to amaze me how Junior it always goes.
I left the category in 2018, so can’t say for sure what happened to ‘the domestics’ after that, but it has continued to go super Junior to every other WB, and stay that way. I was the plug for 6 months, and yet would be at ~40% after the last AE. That’s insane.

Thanks for the insight/info to your world. Good stuff to know if one was to venture down your lane of choice. Thank you again to shed light and the various aspects of timelines that may or may not be the out come of bigger/heavy metal international and your seat. Y’all rock!

Pssh. This pilot just wants to work as little as possible while still making good money. That’s why i stoked to be waiting for wide body OE right now.

International WB isn’t for everyone but it definitely has its merits and you can actually finish a protracted conversation plus a nap on one leg. Dozing for dollars or a dollar in my case ain’t bad living. Hopefully post Viral Panic we’ll get back to bouncing around the not so local neighborhoods again. Can’t see myself traveling much after retirement especially for Christmas presents/ distinctive gifts from abroad. (Granted some of you will retire by 60 or earlier perhaps) One of the many unique aspects of the “job” some call it.

Now that all have been refreshed, it seems that they are releveling the bases (765) and NYC is back to a more traditional structure.
I know that's a cynical stake and the company would never operate with such a strategy on purpose, it just happened to work out perfectly.

Problem was that, at one point, you couldn't. They would sign in at 7:30am and get back the following day at 11:30pm. There wasn't enough legal rest to do them back-to-back.
