2. If yes, do you mind being on reserve for a long time?

If you're cool with reserve for a long time, and don't mind flying in the back side of the clock, the Airbus might be for you.
E190 guys make more money early-on because they are off reserve sooner, and can pick up trips, etc. The E190 isn't going away for a long time, and the seat lock is only a year for new hires.
Food for thought.
I live between MCO and FLL. I've heard I can possibly hold MCO 190 in 6 months and FLL 320 in a year The question in my mind is, would going straight for the 320 be worth the extra time spent as a commuter? Or would it be a better strategy to go to the 190 for a quicker Florida base and think about transitioning to the 320 later? Originally Posted by Southerner

I'll be honest, Im not an airline guy and I don't understand 100% how the seniority system works. Seniority wise when I transition between aircraft or change bases, am I "starting over" in any way? Or is everything based on my initial hire date?
