The year 1 money is not a huge concern for me as I saw this coming and set my family up for it.
My concerns are mostly about getting back to Atlanta and perhaps back into the left seat ASAP.
So, where is training, how long is new hire training, is there an abbreviated course for prior 121 guys and how is the training department?
Again-thanks in advance.
You will start out training in MSP, you will start out flying from either LGA or JFK.... You will likely be able to bid to ATL as FO fairly soon but as for captain, you should prepare for a long stint in New York, and assume MSP doesn't exist.... DTW will likely become the new MSP for ancient seniority soon. But word is ATL will be the largest base (even bigger than New York) so if that's what you want, that's what you can have. Maybe the next generation will get a chance at seeing SLC or westward again but short of the old Mesaba guys, west of DTW will be like the AVRO.... Back in the day....
