That's what alot of people have been asking for. They want to work the max during their trips to maximize time off. Not my cup of tea and something to look out for as an unintended consequence of asking for MDG

If you want QOL you stay senior in category. If you are senior in category and in need more time off you can post your trips on the Swap Board where they will be gone with cat-like quickness. Especially if you're a Captain.

Where is this data posted? I'd like to look at it.

Unless you are very new, you can get senior somewhere.

Sure, somewhere. So someone is new or newish or a few years on property and they have lived and started a family in Minneapolis or Seattle or Atlanta or Detroit. Have these folks had many opportunities to get senior? How are we defining senior? Would being senior in NYC fill your requirements for having QOL if you had to commute there from your distant home?

Hopefully, Delta hasn't hired any pilots that don't understand what a "seniority system" is and where they are in that system when hired.

Maybe ALPA needs to change into a democratic socialist system......that would be "fairer" for all ...RIGHT?

Well Buck.....if the number 1 guy system wide lives in CVG and has a family there is he senior?

Gosh, these are difficult questions.....,.almost as tough as trying to define what "out of seniority" means!
