Take the ER, do some Hawaii, see what transcons are like, enjoy something new.

With the newer A321neos coming online, what else is attractive besides the current Hawaii flying?

Not sure why everyone seems to think a long wait for TOE is a bad thing. You know we get paid while waiting right? As someone about to finish IQ on the ER, I say throw me in that briar patch! Almost 300 an hour to grow a beard and occasionally review flows? Yes please :D

Is it worth commuting for? Never flew INTL WB so not sure what the pros are vs. being in base on a NB frame.

300 an hour? Surely you mean 200. :P

I would stay on the 320. You will move up faster in seniority. I know a few people who will NOT leave the ER till they are forced to displace. They are dug in on that jet.
also, the bottom of the ER bid package looked like CRAP last I looked.

lol, good luck

If you can sit long call from home or are senior enough to hold a line ( doesn’t take much percentage wise in most pure WB categories) then absolutely yes. Otherwise probably stay NB for the time being.

Edit: This is just one data point of course as I’m sure there will be those who say never ever commute. As for me, I went from driving to work on the 73 in Seattle to commuting SEA-LAX for the 777. Even with the commute I worked far less hours and made more money. YMMV.

Go for the ER and try something new; If it’s awful then bid off ASAP. This is the nice thing about working for DAL.
