I currently have a class date with one of AA's wholly-owned carriers and the recent pay increase with bonuses and experience bonuses makes it very attractive. The no interview flow to AA is a bonus but can't count on it. I also have been contacted by ABX recently to interview and with a CVG base could see myself there long term/retire instead of chasing the next big thing.

Provided that I pass the interview with ABX, would you decline the regional and money that goes with it (at least for the next 2 years) and go to ABX?

How does a typical reserve line at ABX look like? Is it a solid block of 16/17 day's on or are the lines broken down in more manageable blocks? What are your minimum day's off? What do you pay for your health benefits for you and/or you and your spouse?
