I have a DL CJO and no class date yet. The concern with taking AA immediately then jumping to DL is that 1) It doesnt help my DL seniority I'll still get what I get 2) Although well prepared for first year pay, that could mean 1 1/2 to 2 years of first year pay which hurts leaving a very lucrative position that I have a the top of my regional. 3) I only have about ten years left.
