Im also not sure how the transition to CA from FO exactly works and how that works in with lines and domiciles, just asking questions. Thanks for the help (and the meme)
Ok,
CLT is generally pretty senior for FO’s but it does ebb and flow. Generally, the 320 is your best bet there because it is a large bid status. You will likely hold CLT within about 1 to 2 years, as an FO, though it has gone to new hires in the past (like 7 years ago past). CA will likely be 6 to 9 years, but probably will drop by the time you get to that point. If you live in CLT, then AA is a no brainer for you. It’s our second largest hub, are you a regional pilot, corporate, or military?
These thing change constantly though, and I wouldn’t worry about it in your decision matrix.
