I would't spend too many brain bytes trying to figure it out...you'd be chasing a ghost.
You can't control what the people senior to you are going to choose. Figure out which planes/bases work best for YOU, and rank order them...that's all you can do.
Welcome to Delta!
This. I went with most likely quickest to Atlanta. One individual is our group obviously went for money because they mentioned how much more they will make over the 220/717 peeps. So want to get to a west coast domicile. Don’t try to figure it out. Just bud what works for you and enjoy. Remember that seat lock is generally two years (from my understanding there is a few ways around that) and first year pay is the same across the board. I know there will be plenty of movement in the next two years and with all the hiring I should have more flexibility in what I can bid and hold Atlanta.
Bottom line try to get what you want and don’t try to figure out what the other 47 peeps in you class are trying to do.
