“Unfortunately” I’m in my twenties and imagine PHL 190 is very likely....guess I won’t know for sure until I show up in DFW.

Curious. Does one have to be crazy senior to get a decent amount of trips originating/terminating out of SNA?
Also, I’ve heard grumblings of SAN pairings or reserve available. Any truth to that?

Also: SNA and ONT have fewer flights/day on both AA and OAL, so there’s a narrow window of commutability.
I’ve noticed SAN trips go a bit more senior. Very few in open time.
On reserve, You can specifically volunteer to be a San Diego reserve. This assigns SAN trips somewhat out of seniority and time balancing order, but I can’t speak to the specifics off hand
