I'm looking at American, Delta, United, & Southwest a few years from now.
So how does airframe assignment work?
Do pilots change airframes often or much at all at majors?
Upgrade times to captain?
Upgrade times to better paying airframes?
You'll make a lot of money.
Just leave it at that.
Anything else is pure speculation, totally up to chance and a wasted effort.
Pick the airline with the bases you want and the culture you're looking for. Then roll the dice.
