If your buddy is 5 years and 55% then he’s in charlotte which is the most senior base and has been stagnant recently as LAA guys move in and the 737 is taking some of that bases flying.

5 years seniority will buy you 777 fo in dfw/lga and he more than likely will be able to hold 737/airbus captain soon. Point being his situation isn’t the norm. Plus, in a few years he will be 50% at the airline.

The crappy work rules everyone complained about were mostly from the lack of an average calendar day pay. That’s fixed. Plus negotiations start this month.

There’s still a good amount to go but your perspective is skewed from your one friend.
