I believe he was comparing lifestyles. I worked 135 on-demand charter and was on a pager 24/7. I got a call one night and was gone for 10 days straight. Going from that schedule to a regional airline was great. I had hard days off, what a concept! Even with jr. manning life was 100% better.
I respectfully disagree. I am flying corporate/charter now and would rather cut off my own left nut than go to work for Republic.
