We dont have near the WB slots as UAL/DL

Our trip trading has been completely locked down the last 5 months. 100% lockdown.

89hr PBS awarded lines for the bottom 50%

Yes the upgrade will be 2 years in LGA but man, those are some uncommutable crap trips. start at 0700 day 1, finish day 2 in the late evening for....10:30. Can pick up the day prior because you start too early and cant pick up the next day because you get back too late.

I am at 5 years and can barely hold 777 fo in lga.

Good luck but I would go elsewhere, wish I would have

Come to AA but come knowing you have one foot out the door for when Delta or United calls. It’s not worth it to be invested in this toxic environment that’s been forged over decades of mistrust and abuse.

QOL is subjective, depends on base, commuting etc. I’m a commuter and until I move closer to base it’s so so. I reserve the jumpseat on us.

Open time varies, the summer was crazy. Easier if you’re on reserve and live in base to pick up OG. Out open time system is not the greatest. Has a learning curve to it. You’ll be waiting for training anyway, I think the time is 3 months to acft training. You’ll get paid average line value for your base and acft. Roughly 82ish a month.

Upgrade in LGA might be less than 2 years after this vacancy. We got some weird text about forced upgrades in lga if you’re out of probation from APA. They will definitely be coming down year by year.

Good thing with the delay in training I'll have some time to think and talk it over with the wife.
