As a number of people here say that one hired now can have a great narrowbody captain career at Delta or as a WB FO, it doesn’t stack that well against UAL or AA going forward as they started hiring much later in the game and have way more retirements coming up.
What do you guys think?
Ha ha. Well us "lost decade" types like myself would probably answer that by saying you will never know. None of these questions mattered after 9/11. None of these questions will matter with the next (hopefully not as deep as previous one) economic downturn.
JB was once cream of the crop when the others weren't hiring. NJA was the same. In ten years UAL may suck while DAL doesn't. Allegiant may have the best contract while SWA becomes the stepping stone....I don't believe that last one but just saying.
