What I meant was that flying LUAL long haul was a mid-career retirement/vacation. The 757 flying is much less work than a Guppy, but still a lot more work than either the 777 or 74. International flying or not, and I don't know the guy, maybe he is moving to Texas.

When I flew back in 2009; we just flew hub to hub for the most part on the Airbus. So, I imagine the flying has not changed for the most part. The 757 will lose all its international flying at IAH by this summer. So, Dave's conclusion it is for that type of flying is not supported.
I do not care about putting the gear down 5 times a day. Just pay me and give me a clean bed to sleep the night. Call me crazy; I have been in China the last 5 years!
FWI;
Its 0217 here in China, and I just finished a 3 day trip. Did a turn in the morning then a 1 leg at midnight. So, I think 737 flying is not a problem for me. At least this hotel had a clean bed.

Hey Slam, thats cool. Thanks.
Dave, I was just wondering if I didn't have some basic knowledge about the IAH base that I am headed to. Yeah, he is probably moving there and loved the 757 when he was on it in SEA. My guess.
good night

And the CAL side has tons of FO's with 20 years seniority, but they never mention those guys.
When the top 80 guys flying right seat in a 757 can also hold Captain, but don't bid it you've got to scratch your head because that doesn't happen anywhere on the UAL side.
