The WBB vs NBA discussion requires more granular data if you are seeking an informed opinion. There are huge QOL and pay swings within WBB. There are even swings within the same BES. Comparing similar options on a per pilot basis, such as DTW 320A vs DTW 330B is one way to look at it. I've had some BES combos that generated 80 hours in 15 days like junior NYC or DTW. I've been in a couple that generated 80 hours in 10 days or better (777/350). WBB res with banked PB days is the pinnacle of efficiency and earnings. At that seniority however WBA is generally an option.

Wait, were you not just posting in another thread toasting 73N trips and drinks in AUA???? LoL, it seems you've stepped on yet another rake Trip.
The 73N is going to be the "new" 88. Max, or no max (i say Max is at least 5-9 years from getting here). But hey, everyone says on APC; "don't bid the fleet for the trips, you know, because network changes". I predict this will make WB B continue to go senior as those that would want to bid NB A see the utter degradation of trips on those fleets. The only insulated one I see is the 717. Too bad it never got banded. I question those that sit NB A with master seniority between 2000-8000. You could be doing so much better on the WB fleets. Just my .02

Where did trips with credit come into play? Dude you are all over the place. Go help granny with her suitcase already. PS - the forward lav is dirty, here's some Lysol wipes, get to it man. Good grief, no wonder we are in the situation we are in we don't need management, we've got pilots like you.
