Travel benefits are the same, except being able to reserve a JS. A bunch of the same overnights. Honestly, if they made the 20yr pay and the 50% premium a permanent thing, you’d have to be at AA for I believe 5-6 years before you get above the $213/hr. I bet a lot of older guys would choose to stay and become lca. Especially if they only had/wanted to fly another ten years. Yeah you’d make more money at AA in the long run, but you’d have to work weekends, holidays etc. being senior does have some benefits. Also get us that 15% 401k.
