My point is that different pilot groups have different priorities.
For example my buddy was hired at SWA the same month I was hired at AS.
He did about two weeks on reserve before being assigned a line.
Reserve goes senior at airlines with proper staffing.
At AS **** goes downhill and it’s a good thing to keep in mind when considering employers. Doubly so for a PAX airline which has 1/3 of its flying in the WOCL, poor staffing and considerably poorer work rules compared to our peers. This is critical if the “music stops” and one is stuck at the bottom for years. Which is the current captain seniority level I’m flying with now: guys who were on reserve at AS for 4-6 years as an FO.
Last I checked that is what this thread was about... comparing employment opportunities. I’m not even trying to make a point. I’m just painting with facts.
