Oh...I see. That pic was well prior to me digging DD coffee and Metallica.I'm talking about the helo pic with you allegedly at the controls.
You have 12 hours, no car, narrow body FO salary and it is a short walk down the road from the hotel. Welcome to the glamorous life of an airline pilot.It's still blowing my mind that you'd layover in ATL and go to fucking Hooters. W. T. F. O.

It is about The Show. If you do your schedule right, you're home 16-18 nights a month with 15 or so days off completely. So a junior pilot gets a few layovers that suck. The rest of the time the QOL beats the shit out of anything the Navy provides. And if you're on a narrowbody after the first 2 years, it's by choice. But I bet you'd still be making more than your Navy pay.Wait, I always thought it was about The Show?
To recap re. QOL, that is 15 days at your neighborhood Hooters and DD. PER MONTH!!It is about The Show.

I don't think I will have an opportunity to jump back to widebody until perhaps the 5 year mark. I keep watching the seniority on the junior 777 FO in the AA system and it is 2000 numbers senior to me. Our 76/75 fleet is rapidly shrinking, I still have friends flying it, but they keep losing lines. Will be awhile before I can jump to the 77, 78 or 350 (which we just pushed back our order by 18-22 months per bird, sigh!). It appears that the other majors have a better shot at going to wide body sooner, though a lot of my friends have switched to narrow body to improve QOL (become line holders, etc). All in all, with over a decade of stagnation, I can't complain how good life is!And if you're on a narrowbody after the first 2 years, it's by choice.
