If you live in base, reserve is great. Reserves typically get 12 days off per month, not a whole lot of flexibility. Once you have a line, the schedule and flexibility are amazing. QOL for line holders is on par, and honestly better than the legacies from a contract standpoint.
The growth planned is pretty solid, and part of a large order by our parent company. Depending on which legacy you’re referring to, I’d definitely say Frontier and the ULCC model is a safer bet. I’ve got almost 40 more years of my career left, and I’m betting my money on this. That being said, I’d also bet money on us wearing a different uniform in the coming years. Buyouts and mergers are going to happen anywhere.
