I took first available and yes I had to commute to reserve in NYC...then in ATL...sat ready basically the entire three years. It sucked...but now I am at a legacy freight company. I will repeat the same mantra here that I told every FO, especially the younger ones...don't wait to upgrade for QOL unless you have a family situation that requires you to remain in your base/seat. Now is the time to suck it up the only seniority which means something is the number at your final destination earning retirement at final destination rates.

We had it good for the last few years before this virus made everything come a all-stop. Get the good while it was there for the getting.
