Cheers gentleman.
I agree with many points.
I am merely trying to understand the industry paradigm nowadays which is why I was hoping to canvas some input from relatively recently promoted Commanders. Point 2 is a good one
Old Smokey.
I, personally, enjoy flying the 733/735 and recognize the handling trend
Old Smokey alludes to, especially when its blowing 250/35G45 into CWL.
However, a LH job affords one a particular lifestyle that has advantages and potentially a tax-advantage too. And unfortunately I don't know of any LH 73 operators. So, short of going part-time, one has to aspire to this kind of fleet if one wants to live the life.
For me the issue is highly pertinent, whereupon one needs to plan the best course of action for the future.
Its a constant juggling act between career aspirations, lifestyle and fun <
PS: Note to self - Must not forget pension.>.
Fortunately fun always wins for me.
