I am currently with AA and in spite of all the infighting between pilots and management, I'm in my favorite bid status: 757/767 based in Miami flying only Caribbean, Central and Northern S America. No all nighters/red eyes, no time zone changes, layovers at either pool or beach, easy flying. Longest flight I do = 4hrs (MIA-Quito.) Plenty of up & down flying amongst the islands and MIA, and I get to hand fly some fun visual approaches into the islands. Pretty much as close as I can get to the perfect job. Now if we can get new management and fix the company, it'll be CAVOK!
If I never see another long haul trip I'll be a happy man. I plan on being one of the the top 50 pilots at AA some day flying narrowbody A320/737 domestic or the islands... long haul makes you old really quick!
