Oh okay I figured as much! What are guys doing now I’m assuming I’ll start a trip out of another base then! Or I should say where is the plane going nowadays?

TOE can just be Hawaii due to recent changes so you may not get an out of base OE trip. As for the regular line flying once your qualified, it’s almost entirely domestic transcons, Florida, and Hawaii. Lots of Boston lately. Category is rumored to close this year or next. Good crews though and the Hawaii stuff is nice especially this time of year. Welcome aboard!

The Jr CA, I believe is 37hrs old, he might have a family and that’s a good pay jump. In 4yrs, when his seat locks expires, might want to go to another plane/job.

Its been that way for NYC several times over my career. This is not the first time. I doubt the contract has much to do with it. It’s the volume of hiring. NYC will always be junior.

Tell me about it. I took a junior upgrade on the 88 my first year. On one commute the FO decided to lecture me about how that was a bad idea because he could make the same amount of money just by picking up greenslips. To do this, he had to violate policy to use the wifi inflight to adjust his schedule. He then proceeded to pick up a trip that prevented him from going home that day, He had to call his wife to tell her that he wasn't going to be home for a few more days to make X amount of money. Meanwhile, I did my reserve stint, went home, and never had to think about open time.
