Did Sery recruit any of you?
Oh, gotta love the comment about concentrating on the love of flying... That's a bunch of feel good nonsense, you'll spend more time concentrating on when you can go back home, and your commute, and only caring about the size of your paycheck. A job is a job.

This. Those who always talk bad about the airlines with flow act as if it is the only option for those pilots. As if they are locked in forever until they flow. (These critics usually come from airline without a flow, imagine that) Choosing an airline with flow is like taking extra fuel above the minimum required on a flight. Even if you are not required to have it, and hope you would never have to use it, why wouldn't you take it?
Getting "qualified" as quickly as possible hoping that you will stand out among 12,000 other pilots that have the exact same qualifications as you do is just as much as, or more of a "risk" as having a contractually required flow.

By definition, if you are on reserve, you are not senior. Depending on base and premerger group, 9-10 years is a line holder as a CA in NY. If you want to be in DTW and MSP then it's higher. No CA is forced to be in those senior bases, they choose to, and by extension, choose to be on reserve. If they wanted a line, they could commute to it, but QOL is king, so reserve at home is better than a line with more days off that you have to commute to.

The Bloch award and its implications have no bearing on new hires. If you get hired today with the current growth plan you will be looking at upgrade within 2 years. During these two years you will make 40k in bonus. That should put your compensation for these two years around 100 k without having to pick up extra flying. If you do pick up some open time the number only goes up. Soon all open time will be at 150% as well. They are trying to get things back to the days where you coming here for 5 years then leave, maybe to Delta or maybe to the major of your choice.

Baloney, MSP is actually the more junior 900 CA base. JFK is the most senior. (pre vacancy 15-06... haven't looked at the shakeout from that as it's not final yet) In fact it's pretty even across MSP, DTW, and LGA for reserve seniority, and yes there are 11+ year seniority pilots on reserve (thanks to Bloch)
