Now you can at least earn money instead of dipping into your savings and paying to work for the first 3 months, but the QOL and morale is low and everyone is just trying to get out.
What’s so bad about NY for a new-hire FO?? Three months of unlimited hotels and positive space travel. By then you should easily be holding a line. What about the one’s who live in the Northeast? Isn’t NY a no-brainer for them?
I get the DEC argument, but an FO looking for rapid seniority progression would likely do well in NY.
Different story if you live in the Midwest or West. I just think NY gets a worse rap than it really deserves. IF the airline was stagnating, which it’s not, then long-time reserve there for a commuter could be a costly proposition due to the crash pad and transportation issues.
