Where are you getting this information from?
Is your goal to get to a legacy fast? It takes good timing, a clean background and a full resume. Looking for Delta? You’ll need to be atleast 6-foot, broad shoulders and preferably not a white-male.
Wherever you choose to “pay your dues” is negligible. QOL should be the only consideration.
Not so much hard stats, more anecdotal than anything. Along with some some numbers from RAH recruiters that shows smaller number of pilots going to the Big 3 compared to some other carriers like Spirit, Atlas, etc...
Again, this is a hypothesis, but I say it’s because upgrading takes longer thus getting a leadership position (LCA, CP, instructor, etc...) takes longer.
