For someone who prefers PHL basing, would it be worth grabbing one as a new hire or would it be better to try to get AB LGA and then bid PHL later on?
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?
Pros of the e190:
— The aircraft pays the same the first year as all other aircraft.
— The e190 is easy to learn so you can focus more on learning the flight operations manual and transitioning to a new airline.
— You will become senior very quickly as most first officers bid off the aircraft at the first opportunity.
Cons of the e190:
— You may be held on the e190 after you are awarded another aircraft. [/LIST]
