E-190 Pay difference question
So fleet assignment is based on age in the new hire class. I am pretty young, so much so that I am sure I would be almost last pick which I am sure would be the E-190 as I am sure no one wants on that fleet because of the pay difference second and 3rd year on that fleet. What do you do if you are assigned this fleet and essentially making first year pay for a few years while everyone else gets to go on and start making the big bucks??
Are there any classes where no one goes to the 190? 737 and 320 only?
Any insight? Thanks

If you happen get it, bid off of it as soon as possible if you don’t want to be stuck with 190 pay for years (or until the fleet leaves service with AA).

Do you have an offer? Not many OTS people and the flows are getting younger.

I sat reserve for 2 months and moved up fast! Put my bid in for the BUS PHL and was awarded it fast and boom Group II pay with a great schedule. They are still holding me and I'm about to hit 3rd Pay and enjoy an awesome QOL. Great pay and great schedule equals winning. Many of the flows that commuted started realizing that the 190 was the plane to take if you wanted a QOL as a commuter.
I'm gonna be sad when they release me, however I'll be bidding nicely once I go over to the BUS in Philly.
If you get the 190 and commute you'll find it's not a bad deal at all.
