One year in is different than five years or ten years in. Timing is everything but unfortunately we can only measure timing by looking backwards.

As for WN, change is in the wind. I don’t see us flying 73’s forever. The MAX is the last run AFAIK.

Today’s status is just a snapshot in time. You have to measure out the differences in what you are willing to accept today.

When I did my type at the UAL schoolhouse in 2015, the instructors all but begged my to apply. My life situation at the time wasn’t compatible. I could have been left seat in something there now too—but you can’t live on what could have been.

The greener grass is always more inviting when the hiring starts slowing.

I can't wait to re-read this thread (but with a slightly different OP) in 3 weeks.

Doesn't Delta have pilot domiciles other than ATL...where seniority (juniority?) might actually go further?? Hmmmm....🙄🤔🤣

Took a quick look.
320B & 73NB lot of 2 leg days and fair amount of 1 legs, share of red eyes, may spend 2-3 days along East coast doing FL-NYC. LAX 320B is double the size of LAX 73N, slightly slower seniority movement on 320.
7ER if you get it, is larger category than 320 & 73N (but more rare as NH as 7ER consolidates to east coast) lots of transcons and some 767 involving Hawaii and Japan (more senior).
