I don't want to do turns out of JFK or EWR and commute in. I would love to see somone prove me wrong in bases like ATL 320 @DL or AA 320 in PHX. like c'mon bro you know that's not true.
last point, what people are getting now will be different then 1.5 years from now. Getting hired at UA in 2022 is vastly different then somone getting hired in 2025. Just because YOU can hold it, does not mean somone getting hired today will have the same trojectory.
No one is trying to recruit you. Glad you're happy where you are; that's the goal. You talk to a few people, so you're refuting someone's experience who just hit the line. You want 2-days, bid 2-days. Dropping 4s to pick up 2s and day trips..? Yeah... way more difficult.
And what the guy gets now at 90% or whatever isn't gonna change much in 1.5 years. Not even sure what that comment means - what people are getting will be different in 1.5 years..? Has relative seniority risen faster for the '22 guy than it will for the '25 guy - for sure. But what you get at that seniority isn't changing much (barring massive events).
