Can someone give any insight into where seniority numbers lie for each airline, specifically:
1. Junior WB FO
2. Junior NB CA 737/A320/1 (I'd prefer to exclude the 190/MD-80/88 since they're going away for both airlines)
3. Junior WB CA
Thanks in advance.
Based on Delta hiring 4000+ over the last 4 years, I would think AA would offer you better movement. However, if you are going to be a career commuter, I would also look at commutes from where you live. Delta allows you to book a Jumpseat 6 days prior going to work and 4 days prior going home. To me, knowing I have a seat to work that far in advance is a huge QOL boost for me, versus worrying if I’m going to be the first one to the gate to list.
