VBD is Senior for captains. It’s very junior for FOs. So the reply from previous poster is inaccurate

I'm not sure I would call VBD FO very junior, but there have been some junior spots available on the bottom end of that lately. That wasn't the case until recently though.

Also if you’re junior and do get VBD remember that you could end up in the places that no one else wants. I dont think you’ll get the Myrtle Beach type places right away. It will be more like the Des Moines type places at first.

That works for me, I'm not living in any of the junior bases now anyway and would be nice if I could get paid to move around to see where I like.

If that’s your situation, VBD could be an excellent fit, along with the extra pay, hotel points, etc.

A third of the FO list is from 17100 to 17500. So I’d say it’s fairly junior. Wasn’t the case when I got here 4 years ago.

The situation today is almost certainly not what the situation is going to be in the future.
