If you want PHL then E190 is the quickest way and you can bid off to the 320 later.
So bottom line, if you live near Philly and are happy there, you’re in a good spot.

Not NY jr but in the top 3 (or bottom 3 if you will). Disclosure, the way I look at seniority is my relative percentage in each base, not the seniority of the Jr pilot there. Talking A320 only, can’t speak to 73 or 76. It’s the most Jr group 4 base for F/O’s.
So bottom line, if you live near Philly and are happy there, you’re in a good spot.

LGA? Leaning 73. (More jr, but the bus is a nicer ‘office’)
CLT? Go bus.
ORD? Go 73.
Etc....

DFW - 14013
CLT - 14378

So I understand this - The lower the number means the MORE senior you have to be? So... to get DFW in 737 or A320, then you need to be 14013 or LOWER. What is aircraft are flying out of LAX right now? What about DFW?
Thanks in advance for any tips in deciphering all of this...
