I have 1700hrs 121 time. I know your not hiring DEC, but what would Compass be like for someone with my experience?

We have hardly upgraded anyone this year and word is were parking some old ones (4-5 planes) starting January. Lovely. This combined with a definite end to AA flying Feb 2018 (as of now) has me less than thrilled. Also completely over the East coast/NE flying. We literally don't go west of MEM.

I am a senior FO and get great schedules and we do have a good contract/benefits, so part of me thinks it's completely nuts to leave. However I'm really burnt out doing the same 10-12 cities and 8 overnights. For serving 70 cities it's petty crazy how little variety you see.

I don't know. Any thoughts? Thank you
You would be 200ish away from the most junior Captain if you were hired tomorrow. As others have mentioned, the flows are done and upgrades are now just for attrition.

New hires are getting LAX now, with an occasional SEA. MSP is attainable within 3-4 months, but you would be on reserve for awhile.
