Just looked it up, you're right it was ~$160, not $180. Ouch!
If I remember the story right…
the real real 3rd listers were the Midatlantic crews that briefly flew the E170s before they got outsourced to Republic. They were considered an alter ego USairways carrier and violated scope and had to fight to get on the seniority list, post AWE merger.
then after them the 2007-2013 hires were added to the 3rd list. Also thought that the merger announcement in late January 2013 was when the SLI snapshot was taken for the 4 lists being made into one with AA. Everyone after that in 2013 went DOH. I remember the late 2013/early 2014 LAA newhire arguing to be put senior to the January 2013 LUS… with 1000 guys still bypassing furlough at LAA…

Didn't that person write a letter? Is that the one I'm thinking of, and didn't they move into a management position and is now a 777 CKA?

You kidding me? FO's fight me every time I try to offer to do a walk around. The only time I actually get a chance to do it is if I arrive at the aircraft before the FO and sneak it in. I get it, when I was an FO I loved doing the walk arounds. It gave me a chance to stretch my legs and get some time to myself. The weather outside did not matter to me.

I’ve had a few CAs tell me they are 50/50 on walk-arounds.
They’ll do them unless it’s below 50*F or there’s a 50% chance of rain. Got a chuckle from that.
In all seriousness if I’m on a 3-day they’ll usually offer to do the walk any time they are PM. Younger guys especially.
