I bid just over 50% CA in ORD. Upgraded recently because pairings are so bad in ORD that my a schedule wasn’t significantly different as an FO bidding <5%. Junior is all a relative term. I’m senior to significantly more than half the pilot group. The schedules in DTW don’t and haven’t ever affected me. Doesn’t change the fact that people coming here need to know what they will experience if they choose a quick upgrade. Also doesn’t make it right that West Coast bases enjoy decent staffing levels and all the 900 flying while those out east suffer. But hey, if you’re one of the top 200 people in the whole company, I bet you’re quite happy the way pairings are being created for you. Make some of those SLC pairings flow into minimum credit days through DTW for a couple months and flow DTW crews into the prime 900 flying SLC enjoys. Then you’ll see real uproar.
