I had read it is possible to get 2nd year Group 2 pay in the E190, but didn't quite understand that. Can anyone elaborate?
If you want PHL absolutely take the 190. Now that there's only a 6 month seat lock for new hires you're assured of being able to bid a group 2 plane before your year is up. When there was a one year seat lock there was a chance you'd not hit the bids right and be on year 2 group 1 pay for a few months while your classmates on the 320/737 were making $30 an hour more than you.
