Goods: Nice trips (when you can get them)
75 most fun plane to fly
Get to fly empty airplanes! (Connected to charters)
Hawaii/European/Haneda

Bad: Very little movement in seniority. Might be changing with new hires showing up again, but that wouldn’t help you much. For reference, I’m 88% in LAX ER after 18 months. Would be 50% in the 73N, 75% 320. Also high utilization on reserve (at least for me). Not sure how other fleets compare.

I’m probably bidding to the 73 next fall for better seniority. Trips seem nice, and I’d get more of the days I want off.

Best of luck! And Welcome to Delta.

4 years to the first post. Well done. ;)

My god.

I'm in absolute awe.

Takes a few type ratings to appreciate.

"If Boeing and Airbus had a baby with a pilot to supervise the delivery"

They would have an A220.
