Jetlink these threads always dissolve into a clown act with Allenalert showing his narcissistic hatred for Ben S and lcal. What questions do you have if any that maybe I could help with?

One of my months (89.5 hours):
4 Day: LAX-SFO-KOA. KOA-SFO. SFO-ORD. ORD-SFO-LAX.
2 Days Off
4 Day: LAX-SFO-EWR. EWR-SAN. SAN-IAD. IAD-LAX.
4 Days Off
2 Day: LAX-MCO. MCO-LAX.
5 Days Off
4 Day: LAX-CLE. CLE-SFO-SAN. SAN-ORD. ORD-LAX.
3 Days Off
4 Day: LAX-SFO-MCO. MCO-SFO-SAN. SAN-IAD. IAD-LAX.
Trips started in previous month (first day), and ended in following month (last two days).
Kona, SAN, and MCO were fun long layovers.

Most recent 4 day trip was:
LAX-SFO-EWR. Long Layover.
EWR-Punta Cana-EWR (Deadhead down, flew red eye back). Short Layover.
EWR-FLL (Long Layover)
FLL-IAH-LAX.
First airline trip to the Caribbean. Mannnnnnnn.......the CA and were JEALOUS of the crew who flew us to Punta Cana! They were an LAX crew also, but I couldn't help but think, "EWR crews do that kind of flying all of the time!" You all pay the heavy price, which is living in the NE during winter. But I got a tease of what your flying is like, and it looks good.
All that being said, this is the best job I've ever had. I know it's not normal to see positive sentiment posted on this forum, but I want to let the folks know who are working their azzes off to get here that it's totally worth the effort.
I'm getting great mentorship from LCAL and LUAL captains alike. In fact, the infighting might be helping us halfwingers a little in the sense there is a sentiment of, "Don't listen to those other guys, let me teach you how to do the job properly." And yes, there are different styles and I'm lucky to learn them all.
As it stands, this is an amazing job and I feel fortunate to be here.
