Delta just had a 2 year upgrade

Faster upgrades at the other guys....then again they have multiple aircraft types. Couple buds of mine at SW told me they'd be happy sitting right seat their entire career. Depends on what you want. SW senior FO's can make a lot of money living in a junior base.

Junior CA system wide was around 58% last time I checked if that's what you're interested in.

I agree. But at least there's the option. That doesn't exist here

Why are some many folks opposed to flying out of New York? Just curious, new to this.

Agreed. No desire to live remotely near that part of the country. Therefore it's NOT an option as far as I'm concerned. Everyone's situation varies.

I was based there for 4 yrs. It sucks. Too expensive. Too crowded. Too many delays. Airports are giant piles of garbage.

I'd much rather be based out west where everything is way less chaotic.
