I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm >8 years in, purchased my Forever Home a little over 2 hr drive from domicile, and have no desire to commute. There's one other legacy with a junior domicile there, but I look stupid in a hat and new hires haven't been awarded the bus in years.
So this is the wagon I've hitched my horse too and I'll be damned if I go down without a fight. I like to believe that I fought well in the last one, I attended a picket by checkerboarding a reserve day and made a well-informed vote. I suspect it'll be just as, if not more, contentious than last time.

I have the same seniority as yours.
I would do the same, management has no plan to deal with this mess. Trying to be cheap and ignore the reality!
the only one solution to this is pay the pilots! Sign a MOU offers 30% pay raise before any negotiation!

Why? The more desperate they get the more leverage the union will have.
one of the side effects of growing 15% per year is that you have a whole lot of people only minimally invested in the companies. Starting over at the bottom would be terrible for the guy with ten years seniority. For the guy with five years ? Not so much.

So where would you (general) put the “likely to eject to a legacy” line? Clearly trainees / Y1 don’t stand to lose much. Y2? Any FO? Anyone x years from 65?
I know several who are dusting off apps, waiting to see if attrition self-rights or reaches a tipping point.

Have to wait till end of summer to see how it goes - maybe get the Legacy apps in then.

Wanna know what happens when the growth story becomes even slightly suspect = look at the dot com bust 2000. They only get one chance at it. if they flub it - only place we'll be able to read about the ULCC experiment will be on wikipedia

Well, after choosing his path, the Frost says he looks forward to a day far in the future when, “with a sigh,” he will tell people about taking the road “less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Does this mean that taking the one less traveled has “made all the difference” in a good way? Saying so “with a sigh” doesn’t necessarily sound like a good thing. The poem isn’t at all clear on whether or not taking the less traveled path was a good choice or a bad choice. So, while the poem is clear that all of our choices shape the path we take in life, it’s more ambiguous about whether choosing “less traveled” paths is a good thing or not. You won't know if you made the right choice until you are well into retirement.
