For someone mid 20’s, where is the seniority progression better?
We can go on CCS and look at our seniority progression month by month but that’s about it. Nothing available for those who don’t work here that I’m aware of.
Also, that’s a pretty arbitrary number past about a year. Things could get better, get worse, they could stop hiring all together and decide to shrink or retire a whole fleet of aircraft. If you’re making your decision based on where you’re gonna be in 20 years that’s the wrong way to look at it. For all we know Delta and United maybe one company in 20 years time.
You need to look at QOL. Where will you be based? Do you want to live in any of their bases if you don’t commute? Do you want to fly widebodies vs narrow bodies? Those are the questions among others that you need to ask yourself.
