Hypothetical situation - you want to be domiciled in Chicago and had an offer in hand from both American and United:
1. What is the relative seniority of the ORD domicile within each airline and
2. Best educated guess on which airline has the best opportunity for moving up the ranks of seniority at ORD most quickly.
Realize that part 2 is a bit of a "crystal ball" question but invite educated opinions. Even uneducated ones are welcome as long as they are funny.
Also realize that you might be only able to speak for one, not both of the companies wrt seniority but appreciate any info out there.
Thanks!
I was in that situation along with a few others here (both job offers). For Chicago residents United is a much better deal. Things can change, but there are people with less than 4 years of seniority in all Chicago equipment right seat, including the 777.
Timing is everything. I had to commute to EWR for over a year, but some guys made in to Chicago in less than 6 months on the bus.
