Pros and cons are all personal. I’ll come at it from a commuter experience that prefers QoL way before money.

Number one by far for me is seniority. It truly is the key to increasing QoL or money or both. Everything after that is a distant second. A diversity of aircraft and flying. There is something for everyone. Lots of Crashpad options. Transportation to/from airports is pretty easy. Multiple airports serviced by multiple carries.

Cons: it’s NYC. Dealing with the traditional NY mentality is tiring but now just becoming entertaining. You have to cover multiple airports. I’m sure there is more but the seniority out weighs almost everything else.

Default Base and airplane routes

I am an airline rookie. Is there anyway to see routes based on both base and plane? For instance, b717 dtw? a320 NYC?

no. Unless you know someone and they send you a bid pack.

The problem is that flying changes month to month.

you can go on Flightradar24 and see what airplanes are flying where at a given time. But without the bid package you won’t be able to see what the specific trips look like.

flying here changes so much for the most part it’s not worth chasing flying. It will change on a dime.

If you are a new hire with an employee number you can see bid packages on delta net.

If you looking for certain layovers…

Never bid an aircraft/base based on the layovers it currently has

For those that care about such things, a whopping 21 of the 617 pilots hired through class 20-21 are female, half of which were in the last two classes. Better yet, only 8 are black. Greater than 91.5% of all new hires this year are white men. Diversity indeed.
Turbulence on descent, airplane is shaking and bouncing around, nervous flyer tightly grips the the armrest. Just before touchdown I bet their biggest concern is whether the pilot is black or female…

Quit being divisive.

If you have to wait a few weeks to start training, are you still paid the ~$5k/month?

You're on that training pay until you complete OE, even if your waiting to train.
