Hate that things have gotten so rough, but the future here looks grim. Thanks for any advice/feedback,etc.
If youre serious, get the app in and get the interview. Nothing matters unless you have a CJO.
Id honestly say, if you're not in the fAAmily within the next 3 yrs, you'll be on the backside of our wave; getting here within a year, all the better of course.
I have 2 personal friends who left Purple for AA within the last year, both had 4 yrs seniority. They both love their decision and both are ****ed at themselves they didn't leave sooner. They both commute to reserve FWIW.
You'll make NB CA for sure and can ride that nicely with the variety of flying our system has. DFW being
much better than CLT. IMO and from buds in CLT, it has the worst flying in our system.
You can get back to a WB if you want.
Current plugs in your interested bases:
DFW
777: Dec '19 hire
787: Nov '16 hire
CLT
777: May '18 hire
* Very small bid status so movement crawls
Good luck.
