If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers.

I made this a while ago. Hopefully it helps.

If you want LAX you will most likely achieve it on the first AE you see assuming you are on 320/73/7ER.
Part of the reason LAX doesn’t show in the drop often is due to the size. Openings in NYC can be in the 100s of seats vs about 10-20 openings in smaller bases like LAX. So staffing the NYC seats becomes the priority.

NYC7ER vs NYC756 for new hire commuter
Hey all,
Indoc rapidly approaching - looking for thoughts/corrections on the following pro/con lists:
Background:
Commuting from MCO.
17 years left to 65.
Would rather have fewer commutes per month and longer trips, vs multiple commutes and shorter trips.
Not bothered by red-eyes, crappy destinations - once on the clock, I'd rather maximize credit hours than have nice layovers.
NYC765 Pros:
Pay scale (Yr2 and beyond) - is it enough of a difference over 7ER, or can you eventually work 7ER trips to make up most of the difference?
Commutablility - seems like most 765 trips leave later in the day, and finish earlier in the day.
NYC765 Cons:
Seniority/reserve - seems like new hires will be on weekend reserve for 3+ years. Will it be even more years? How many reserve periods (ie. commutes) do you have to have per month?
NYC7ER Pros:
Seniority - ability to bid a better schedule sooner.
Layovers - possibility of MCO layovers.
NYC7ER Cons:
Commutability - looks like commuting will require arriving at NYC a day early and/or an overnight after a trip.
Legs - 3-leg days more common.
What am I missing on the pro/con list? What is overblown or outright inaccurate? Any opinions welcome, especially if you're a 1-2 yr MCO commuter on this equipment. But I'll take any info I can get.
TIA!

Commuting new hire NYC7ER vs NYC765
Hey all,
How far off am I on the following pro/con lists for a commuter (MCO to NYC)?
NYC7ER Pros:
Relative seniority - can hold a line within 18-24 months.
Possible domestic layovers at home airport.
NYC7ER Cons:
Multi-leg days.
Non-commutable trips.
Less pay than 765.
NYC765 Pros:
Pay about 13% more.
Commutable start and end times.
NYC765 Cons:
Seniority - 3-5+ years of weekend reserve.
Seems like commuting to 765 as a new hire is pretty poor QOL for not that much more pay. Am i under/over estimating the reality of anything on this list?
TIA!

some MCO layovers In NYC but I think more in ATL.
for the most part NYC 7ER trips are 1-2 legs a day. I’ve seen 3 and even 4 but most are 1-2
