I’m not too sure about that. Maybe near term but the variety of flying is pretty bad. One Deep South America, London, and CDG. That’s pretty much the variety. Both the 350 and 330 will have more variety and days off potential in addition to growth planes. Once the hard core Boeing guys start returning off the top I think it will start to go significantly more junior to the others.

During the summer months (4), the 765 has some pretty nice Europe flying like Nice and Venice, but 8 months of the year, it does mostly 6 day LHR trips. I like LHR in moderation, but that would get old quickly.

Probably need a stronger dental plan with that much time in the old country. 😁

This is interesting. Why do you think this? The flying is comparable in terms of variety, but the 350 is far more efficient.

Agreed except for the FRMS trips. Each trip knocks out about 3-4 additional days of "flexibility."

I suppose. If I were to choose between the 330 and the -400, I would absolutely go 330 though

The 330 will be the most senior via the pay banding.

Yep. And I would bet that the 400 will be the most junior of the three. Unless you like London I guess.

Have you actually looked at the -400 bid packets lately? London hasn’t been the majority destination in months. I sit at 60% and haven’t touched London since September. The -400 has a pretty wide variety of destinations at the moment.

shhhhh. We go only to London, unless it’s an uncommutable lax 2 day.
