I guess everyone's situation is different, but it is difficult to see why a senior 74 FO would take 76 CA at our rates. Schedule goes to pot, very little raise, seat locked for 3 years, when you could have waited for the 74 and gotten it before that 3 years, thus possibly making more if considering scheduling opportunities, and efficiencies. The break even point on the 76 upgrade makes little sense unless 74 protracts out 4+ years over the 76.
Like you said, to each their own.
No worries. PM'd ya!

747 upgrades could easily come to a screeching halt. I am taking the classic advice of never passing up an upgrade. If things go Tango Uniform here and I cannot get on with Purple, Brown or a legacy (been there, done that) then wide-body PIC makes one quite marketable for Asian contract jobs.

All this talk of seat locks lifting or not is from language in the current CBA. Is it possible that we could get SOC and merge the seniority lists and fleets without having a new CBA?? I don't think so; the pilots and 1224 would never accept that, and we (1224) have to provide the merged list to move forward.
Point is, speculating about the ability to bid the 777 or back to the 747 after the merge is just that: speculation. There could be a whole new set of rules in the new CBA (and possibly fences).

Jump sitting
Just a quick question for you guys. I was looking at hoping on a transoceanic jumpseat (HSV - LUX) and back. Typically how good is a space availability? My purpose for the flight is to get an idea of what a long haul flight looks like from the pilot perspective and to see if I would like that type of flying. Thanks.
