A small price to pay for an eventual $3-4 million in additional career earnings.

Lol what a douche bag comment. Last year in my class the 190 was gone in the first 10 guys. Several PSA guys wanted the 190 and couldn’t hold it and were forced to the west coast due to low seniority and the unfortunate problem of being young enough to have a 35 year career at AA ahead of them retiring in the top 100. I don’t think anyone truly gives a $@&! what they fly here especially when they bid off of it, get withheld, and get paid group II rates to do it. Those guys will be senior line holding wide body captains for their last 15 years here. Leave your commuter BS at the commuters. Everyone here is an American pilot so stop bringing your drama with you.

LAX is far junior to PHL on the 320. You can hold a line as an FO on the 320 in a month or two in LAX. Not the case in PHL. Heard of guys getting LC immediately. It changes quick, but LAX seems consistent with being junior.

Somebody that young is hopefully using AA as a stepping stone to Fedex, UPS, DAL, or UAL. Unless he/she lives in DFW, PHL, or MIA. The mid seniority CAs at those carriers make more than our senior CAs and they have a greater variety of flying and better work rules. Contracts come and go but we have lagged the industry for a long time. We don’t seem to be on track for closing the gap anytime soon.

As of 1 Aug, that grows 4% for a difference in 10%. Pretty significant. There are less people at PHL, but more retiring. Movement at PHL is pretty aggressive right now and should stay that way for the next decade, especially in the first 5 years of that decade.
