The general opinion is none of the jobs is worth commuting to if you live in base for one of the competition. The only consideration is the availability of long haul w/b flying vs an airline that is only n/b flying. That's an individual decision to make. The reality is plenty of guys commute to do the w/b flying. Except for some of them they have a n/b base as a fall back option so it's not the same as commuting for your entire career.

American, Delta, United, Southwest, FedEx, UPS are all top tier jobs. If you live in the base of one of them it's not worth commuting to a different one, unless you've already built some seniority.

Some of the junior group 4 captains were awarded it out of seniority bc LUS was guaranteed a certain number of g4 captain positions. So that bottom number may not be accurate once those protections (which i think last 5 years from SLI) go away.

I think a few of those may have made it into my spreadsheet before I realized that's what they were. The new awards show the protected positions.

If you're PHL based be sure and pay attention to the forced E-190 upgrades. The Q&A with the contract compliance guys said the forced upgrade will incur a 2 year seatlock. They'll probably held for a year beyond that too. The 190s are supposed to be parked by then, but things change.
