I'm 90+% ER A. I expected to be junior for a long time but at this point have accepted that I won't move up a single spot until they kick me off of it. I'm still going to ride it out till the bitter end though. I live in base so my QOL isn't bad at all. Sure there's times where I wish I wouldn't get unstacked as much, especially in slow months like October, but I kind of knew that going in. Looking at the wide reports around my seniority it wouldn't be any different on the the other narrowbody fleets except the 717. In fact for my tastes the garbage trips on the ER are better than the garbage trips on the other fleets. I like the plane and after 3 years on it have finally started getting more comfortable with everything. I'll ride it out until the end, and will probably be one of the first ones displaced anyway. By waiting for a displacement I can try something out and not have a seat lock if it turns out I don't like it as much as I thought.

Usually they let the category shrink by itself. You might be in it till the end, if you want to.

I'm on the same page of the Wide Report as Extenda.

Live in rural NJ but within short call in bed range.

The "garbage" of the ER bid pack domestic/non ocean crossing international is better than mid pack on my old plane (320)

And occasional Greenies to Europe and Africa are pure bonus. Granted I got one coverage day on a non holiday Saturday next month.

ER is better manned than 320, so it's probably a pay cut, but it's nicer.
