Keep in mind every new hire will be going to SFO and stuck there 2+ years. There are literally 10 retirements a year for the next decade, so just hope for more hiring to create seniority, not geezers coming off the top of the list.
If you get an offer from AA, take that. Or at a minimum come here and keep your apps out.
This is just marketing and recruiter BS, they put on a show and lie about upgrade times and future plans. The pilot group in the PNW is autistic, so dont expect much conversation, interaction, or layover fun. Just weirdos who are scared of FAs and cant make eye contact with some basic conversation or small talk during a trip.
Be objective about your goals and shoot for what's best for you.
You ever stop and think for a minute…that maybe it’s just you?
That’s not my experience, or the experience of anyone else at this pilot group. The fact that you can sit here and honestly say that kind of stuff about your fellow pilot group is lowly and pathetic. How about you get lost already, we’d all be better off without you a part of the group.
