It matters for sure, but where you want to live matters equally as much, if not more in my opinion.

Living in base trumps all other legacy considerations by a considerable margin imo.

I should be able to do the interview in the fall, but still can’t start until 2024. I still am leaning Delta, but it is hard knowing I’ll be behind some of the seniority movement after potentially having to wait a year for mil reasons.

At 28 does it really matter or am I overanalyzing the seniority progression?
You're gonna have to wait for both, and my understanding is UA is hiring plenty of folks too. The average new hire here seems to be around 35ish years old. You're gonna be just fine.

Thanks for the insight. I think Delta is definitely the best for my situation. Hopefully I can get there sooner than later

Buddy, you have no ****ing clue how to bid. We all thank you.
I am sure your bidding skills do much better

when I was on the bus right after the md80 left.

Ny 320 used to have west coast legs, nice trips.

Now what is there 5% commutable trips?

Yuck. To me they ruined the category.

Glad it sounds better Last I checked there were almost zero commutable trips, many w multiple legs.
Almost everything through ATL for the fl shuttle?





My current ER bid is late start, one leg per day, No ATL.

Some guys like early shows, more than one leg. I hate it.

Something for everyone I guess.

With the optimizier pegged to Ludicrous Speed, I can't see many pilots holding 1 leg only days on domestic categories/trips. Maybe top 5% dudes.
