Being a former narrow body captain and not having enough seniority as a wide body FO to avoid cold destinations year-round is a fail in so many regards.

Damn that's young.

I heard one of the junior 7ERA awards went to a 27 year old.

Just checked and well I'll be damned it's true. Retires in 2059. Will be in command of a Widebody across the Atlantic in their 20s. Possibly on a Greenslip if they live local. What an amazing opportunity.

Looking at the Captain awards there are several pilots who retire 2056+ with the youngest I've seen retiring in 2061, NYC73NA. We might be on the cusp of a 23 yr old Delta Captain on the Widebody AE. What a time to be an airline pilot

To do this, he had to violate policy to use the wifi inflight to adjust his schedule. He then proceeded to pick up a trip that prevented him from going home that day, He had to call his wife to tell her that he wasn't going to be home for a few more days to make X amount of money. Meanwhile, I did my reserve stint, went home, and never had to think about open time.

This. I live close enough to NYC that its a 45 minute flight and I can drive in a pinch if needed. I can sit long call at home and drive maybe 2 times a year when a 12 hour call comes 5 minutes after the last flight left.

But I don't live close enough to be a green slip ninja.

I don't plan anything on my reserve days and I forget about delta when I'm off.

The only GSs I've done have either been a DH to where I live or something that pops when I'm already in NYC commuting home.
