Legacy v. National/LCC
What are the major differences between the two as far as compensation, benefits, retirements, QOL etc., over the course of a long career at either? While the legacies (also FDX & UPS) appear to be similar, overall, it does seem that there's a bit of a first and second tier amongst the national/lccs; I could be wrong.

Legacy is far better over almost any length of career, particularly pay.
Also typically more options as far as equipment and type of flying. |

Does that mean there's a certain age or age range at which Nationals/LCCs may make more sense?
It's just that there comes a time when holding out for a legacy has diminishing returns. If you're 30 and take an LCC job, you'll want to keep your legacy apps updated. Unless you have too many DUIs. |

Based on that observation, I guess i have too many DUI's then. I took an LCC job at 32, and never had an app into the legacies. No DUI, or anything on my record, 4 year degree. Now i'm sitting 40% in the company. Just because someone is in their 30's and never applied to the legacies doesn't mean they don't have the qualifications. Maybe they are just happy where they are and the legacies is not for them.
I was talking about a (young) new-hire today... HE will not move up 60% in a few short years. Probably leaving a lot on the table if he stays at an LCC if he doesn't have to. |
