"As said before, zero chance. Every FO in DTW could be a captain in every other base. They just don't want to commute."

Wrong. 15 out of 42 don't want to upgrade.

Furthermore, Since when are LAS red eye turns country club flying?

Maybe they don't want to upgrade because they would have to commute? I knew a few guys back in the day that were senior to me that didn't upgrade because they could hold a SWEET line out of DTW as an FO (#1 and 2), instead of sitting reserve.

BTW, are you saying ACY is Junior for the FOs?!
Hmmmmmmmm... Live within an hour, I assume would have PLENTY of recommendations, A320 type (PIC Too!!!), still have the uniform (3 and 4 stripes)!!!!


Also, are they now asking to resign seniority numbers?
What's first year FO make these days? No more 150-200 % pay right?

First year FOs now make a whopping $38/hr! It actually went DOWN from the previous contract rate of $40/hr...

Oh..and yes...the 150 percent pay for working on a day off went away. The 200 percent JA pay is still in place; however, some in the union have declared jihad against their own pilots who VOLUNTEER to fly on their days off with the publication of an "Honor Roll."

(I wont even go there with that topic as it has become quite the sore subject around these here parts.)
