Getting to a widebody soon? 7ER is held within just a few numbers of the bottom of the list. ATL, DTW, and NYC are all the junior bases. The last class has people in all 3 last I checked. Newhires will primarily be going to ATL and DTW with a sprinkling of NYC. MSP is a bit more senior now but that will change.
I've been home at least part of Christmas day all of the 6 Christmas's that I've been here. I can think of only one Christmas eve that I've missed.
LOL someone has to work x-mass, obviously you'd be senior so you won't. Maybe sit reserve on wide body? Holy Shiny Jet Syndrome Batman! No thanks, I'll take QOL over SJS anyday. Besides Int flying is going to foreign carriers
We can all spilt hairs and play, what if scenarios, yeah but I'm still right cause... for the next six pages.
My original contention was the "entitlement" comment for not applying to Delta. It was an uneducated comment. Don't judge a person till you walk a mile in their shoes, understand their values. Work to live not live to work. Especially when you're about to retire.
PS I have no interest in going to DAL to finish out the final leg of my career. But I support everyone (aka senior) that does apply
