I think you kinda missed the boat at delta. Even in the next 10 years, let alone the last ten of your career, you’ll have vastly better seniority at AA due to the much greater retirement wave there. Add in the fact that delta has already hired over half their list since 2014 and it’s a no brainer to stay at AA.

Again, if he lived in say ATL you would have a point. He can be a senior FO or junior CA in NYC in less than a year. Who cares what 14000 other pilots do in other bases when he lives in the most junior, undesirable base we have. He will enjoy greatly inflated seniority compared to his classmates who live elsewhere in the country.
I’m just saying if I were in his shoes, I’d stay at AA where you’re already a year in vs getting in on the back end of the wave at delta.

Thats true and there’s a reason things go jr in nyc and it’s his advantage that he lives there. Obviously the true widebody prospects for capt are better at AA, and he’ll get there much quicker vs delta.

I think I'd stay at AA if I were you. Your seniority will end up much better there. Starting over at the bottom of a seniority list is always a big risk. Also, I know NYC seniority is different and Delta is bigger there than AA, but you'll be able to hold NB captain there at AA soon and have much better overall seniority list movement. Maybe locally in NYC Delta wins initially, but we have hired so much and have such a young bottom 40-50% of the list that your seniority will stagnate. You already have a nice cushion below you at AA, so I'd stay.

AA is shifting to 80% domestic and 20% international, while we are growing our international exposure. Specially if the Gs passes…dal will be a better place to be than AA.

I was AMR in a past life too and largely thought I’d make a career of that place. What’s the line from that old Garth Brooks song again??
And to the OP, especially since you live in NY, run as fast as you can to Delta.
