You can't come close to matching that as a NB pilot, BUT I bid NB CAP because I couldn't stand being an FO anymore nor could I take flying ALWAYS on the back side of the clock.
My point is, however, that your sentiment is 100% false. WB FO has become increasingly senior since the merger.
Actually, it’s 100% correct. You cherry picked your numbers because EWR A320 is a very junior base. I’m a little senior to you and would be significantly more senior as a 777 FO than I am as a 737 CA. I’m 45% and going backwards. Where’s everyone coming from?
Getting back to the original point, long haul flying is great for many, including myself. It’s low stress with lots of days off. It’s even better if you’re a commuter. However, saying it’s going senior to NB CA is demonstrably false. In the end, $$$ trump just about everything.
