A330 flying at HAL. Maybe even recently, folks getting hired right into the 330. Most jr trips are to Japan and report for duty around lunch time day 1. 24 hr layover then home by lunch on day 3. @UA most likely going to have trips longer than that, especially on narrow body.
Retirements, meaning people leaving. I counted only 150 odd leaving above me in the next decade. If there’s no more growth then that’s something to seriously consider as it directly affects your Quality of life. Lots of growth that started several years ago and realistically in my personal opinion, if you’ve been hired in the last 2-3yrs you’ll miss most of it. I fully expect a fair amount in the jr 100 on the list to churn over and persue other opportunities. I mean why wouldn’t you?
Not it sure on the profit sharing. We get it, but it’s not as good as DAL/UAL/SWA.
