When your junior, your best QOL is going to be on a junior aircraft in a junior base. That's MSP -88 F/O or NYC -88 F/O. Just depends on what one is looking for in terms of what is best.

Also MSP -88 is not only a new category, but more specifically a new category in a junior aircraft. Senior guys that are already flying 320's,737's, and 757/767's aren't going to be jumpin at the bit for those seats. The -88 pilots already on property are probably in their bases for a reason ( Live in ATL or in the NorthEast)...so really who's left to bid those seats other than new hires.

Personally I think it's the best choice ( depending on where one lives) for a new hire as things stand. We'll have to see how things pan out on this next A.E.
