800 seniority guy will be #2 in the seat. Recently (last 5-7yrs) the top 5 seniority MD88 Capts are making lots of cash. Lots of high time credit trips, lots of 2 day/2 leg trips, lots of GS’s. Next 2 yrs could be very lucrative for Sr 88 guys, especially as things wind down and GSWC environment shows its head.
