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.
Probably because PHL was/is the bastion of Airways widebody flying.

190 could have some big upside as the fleet draws down in the future. So who knows. Moral of the story, everyone has different circumstances and wants and needs.

Best example I can give is PHX vs CLT. I hear people call PHX jr because new hires get it while CLT is sr because its about 2 years to get. For me though I’d be 10 to 15 points better in CLT than in PHX so I consider a PHX sr. This is partly from the merger, and it will always ebb and flow.
My advice is pick the best commute. At the bottom of the list, that trumps everything.

Counting the eggs before they hatch. I hope your health and everything pans out for you. However maybe in the mean while a little humble pie could also help you out. Call me crazy. May just a little older and experienced. Who knows? However we have no issues with any of the wholly own guys so unless you are from one in which you have beef about another maybe you can learn you’re at AA. That BS we don’t care about. You’re on our seniority list and start to act like it. All the same if you like it or not. Hopefully you’ll see top 100. Stupidest question people ask here is where one is scheduled to finish. Too many variables all out of our control to plan that bs out.
