for those reading, this mind set is very narrow visioned. Pay rates don’t always equal better pay. I gained much faster seniority on the 88 than my peers on the ER or 73. Despite the lower pay rate, I held a line faster and was able to get green slips while they had neither and sat reserve. Guess who could make more working equal or less?

And that was a great strategy way back when you got hired but it’s not necessarily true today when the company is hiring 150 per month for the next year or more. Now, guys can have 30 NH under them in category by the time they start training and 60-70 by the time they finish OE. They are not likely to sit reserve as long as back in the day. There’s just too much hiring for that. Disclaimer: Each NH is obligated to look at the playing field, numbers, and do their own research.

You can make way more as a line holder doing green slips but you really have to do a lot of flying you can makes in my opinion a little bit less on reserve doing Greenslip’s if you’re not rolling thunder but you usually don’t have to work anywhere near as hard.
