Just wanted to say thanks for answering NJ'er questions so persistently. From your posts, it is obvious that you you have a very balanced perspective, which I really appreciate.
In regards to your post about seeking SWA first, I would say it depends on the type of flying you prefer. Having done military and regional / national-type flying, I am certain I don't want to fly 3-7 segments per day for SWA the rest of my career. Been there and done that.
That's just me though. I want to get it over all at once and have lots of days off - which is why I am drawn to the long haul at CX.
I start in June. Do you think SFO and LAX will be 777 in three to four years? Or still use the whale? Will NA PAX DEFO be a potential barrier to switching over to pax in the future?
Also, if the -200F's go away sooner rather than later, will inter-Asia flying on the -400F be on the roster for NA pilots? I realize predicting the future is difficult. Curious as to your thoughts? Thanks in advance.
