Oh? Why would that be? No airport standby, more bases, higher pay, better work rules, not doing 5 leg days all the time, schedules improve as you move up in seniority...

There's no hope of getting better schedules here as you move up, ENY's schedules stink. Top to bottom. Even being senior gets little benefit other than top crappy line with some days off you want. I'm about 1/3 down the list, and the only reason my line is tolerable is because it's commutable so I don't lose more days off at home. Forget days off I want. That's where the bar is set.

I think AA is significantly better. I'll tell you next year.
