It’s one thing to knowingly take a 2yr seat lock into the 777 and know what you’re getting. It’s another to be forced into a 756 which will keep you on the coasts for 2yrs. So yes, I can understand those frustrated watching people junior scoop up their home town in a vacancy. For once AA beats us at something, seat lock rules for new hires.

So let's get this straight, you got hired into your dream job after years or decades of abuse in the regionals or military. And Now you complain about being a 757/767 pilot getting the highest new-hire pay and quality work rules in our collective airline history!
I know what we can do, give out some participation awards, because we are all "special."
Enough with the sarcasm. You got the job, enjoy your hard work and if the commute doesn't work, move and make it work.

I agree with the not whining!
One thing first year pay is the same across the board. 2nd for the people complaining about junior people taking the vacancy for being in a seat lock ,suck it up buttercup its the contract the union posted numerous emails and letters warning y'all that this would happen.

Or cross your fingers and bid for the ORD 787 FO slots that will come on the next bid (or next couple). Since it is a new Category, virtually anyone can bid for it.
Heck if you end up holding it, you will get a pay raise and get off the coast!
Plus then you will be able to complain about how bad the reserve system sucks for a good long while!

He obviously wasn’t military as he would have dropped Long term mil leave after consolidation was complete to work on his other retirement while UAL contributed to his B-fund (all the while he would get to participate in vacancy bids even bidding 777 FO in SFO for increased B fund contributions). Couple of years (and many vacancy bids and PS checks) later he magically appears at DENFTC for requal skipping the whole commuting to the coast thingy... Not a bad gig!
Now that was funny and well written.
