I dunno what Base and bid packages you are looking at, but east coat guppy flying isn’t anything like you are describing. Most of the redeyes that we have are on Day 4 coming from the west coast and commuters love them. I try to pass on them.
At 94 percent, I’ve managed to avoid ANFs until this month. The only reason I took on some ANFs is for days off I wanted.

Anyway, that's west coast guppy flying. Start with a redeye.

I look at the junior lines on the 737 and they look a LOT tougher on the body than the Global WB trips. They start with ANF single leg, min rest and 2 legs until midnight, medium rest and 3 legs to rush hour traffic. Come back in 25 hours and do it again. Take 3 days off and do it again. I'm in my 50s, I need the money, but NB CA is going to be the death of me compared to the gentle pace of the global flying. Global looks like it has 3 circadian swaps a month. NB CA looks like it has 6, with no bunk and no international lounges.
Everyone is different, but I just don't see how NB is easier on the body.

For me on the WB I sleep for shorter spells, but I sleep very well during those spells, either on the jet or one of my 2-3 sleeps in the hotel ha.
i love the one leg and done, minimal disrupting factors (weather/maintenance etc.) and being somewhere else in the world. I’m glad that with the movement we’ve had everyone can find their place for the most part where they want to be.

it’s all good. I think Spirit will be fine, however with 23 years left, and always wanting to work for UAL, I figure now is probably still a decent time to make the jump 🤞🏼

There are lot of us with great seniority leaving NK. I’m just shy of 13 years and I’m about average with those leaving.
