Get why you’d avoid GSW between now and then. Hopefully the junior upgrade would take about the amount of time you’d be withheld.
It sure is real in MIA
But I guess seniority fixes almost everything. 31XXX and living right by the airport is my recipe to overcome the drama lol. Summer has been tough though, August looks much better, I traded down to 7 days of work, and the rest I'll be waiting for those last minute trips.
I think being a senior FO rather than a junior CA is the way togo, for me. Once you can hold a line, sure. On the other hand, I can't wait to go back to WB flying. It's always good to have options.
