Financial.

I make some of my best financial decisions while intermittent fasting, it sharpens the senses.

I don’t take anyone’s advice…not even my own.

I can’t decided between the 350 and the 330. I can hold both with pretty good seniority. I’ve been looking at the bid packs for a while and am familiar with that. I know the flight decks are different but can anyone give me their take on the “other things” such as bunks, jumpseats, co-workers, etc.? Thanks!

330 has a better bunk, 350 has a better location. Think house in the suburbs vs apartment downtown.

JS - same on each plane.Coworkers are more base dependant than airframe.

Flying varies by base, if you commute you have choices. If you live in base, that choice is on you

It comes down to a preference for 3 pilot or 4 pilot.

Look at the trips your seniority holds. There is a big difference between a 10pm departure crossing the equator vs morning Pacific and afternoon Atlantic.

In general is 4-pilot flying less fatiguing than 3?

Thanks for the info! Are the 330 bunks located in the back? Is it tricky getting around the FAs while they are doing service and what not? Silly question but I’m hoping to make a decision that’ll last for many years. I feel like I would be the guy to bump into 100 PAX while walking to and from the bunks at 2am and **** a lot of people off

Yep those are two overlooked but important criteria for deciding what to bid. My top 5 (in order) are:

1: Jumpseat comfort

2: Destination quality

3: Co-worker quality

4: Ease of side window opening

5: Seniority
