Upper middle (lower upper?). I was 4/17 at 46, junior to 3 flows. After the initial bids I will forever be 9/17
(but no commute for now
).[/QUOTE]
While I realize everyone has his/her own motivations, if you wouldn't mind, what was your top available choice (earliest date) and why did you choose to slide down a few spots? Domicile? Equipment?

I could have taken LGA 320 or MIA 767, either of which would have made me more senior than I now am with DFW S80.
I would have loved to choose either of those airplanes, but I am a full-on QOL guy so having no commute was a no-brainer to me in exchange for only 5 numbers. Could it come back to bite me? Sure, but I figure the risk is extremely low that it would mean a furlough vs. staying employed.

I'm sure you made the best decision for yourself. You opted
For immediate QOL instead of potentially better QOL down the line. It's a tough decision.

Seniority is everything, but for me the trade-off was never really in question (though the thought did cross my mind ever so briefly).
