My reason for where I am not is, I do not want to commit to a two year seat lock that may limit my options when more seats move. It has nothing to do with QOL. I made the decision to take a QOL hit to avoid another seat lock. Currently I do not get anything I bid for due to where I sit on the jet. Once the music stops, I will then bid off.
Yes, I am junior but have well over 10% of the total list below me.
Thanks for the input, ACL. Using both current nag LGB pay systems, where would you currently be paid and what would you QOL had the hiring stopped a month after you were hired? I guess what I'm trying to understand is if QOL and pay are affected by where one was hired in a cycle of either massive growth or stagnation, I.E. Possibly getting stuck at the bottom of the list for years (amr, ual, us). Thanks again.
