Jersey, huh? Who would've thunk it?! Thanks!

I am early 01 nwa so we are neighbors on the SL. It may be the more senior may be waiting to see how senior they could have been.

Hired last January so around 11,3xx and this morning I had 39 total with 25 first preference.

For DTW 7ERB I had 110 total and for NYC M88A only 86

I tried to check one more time but the bid was closed. Hope I get it but TBH I'll be more relieved to finally nail down any domicile

. The wife and I have been working at this since I got the CJO in July. It'll be good to finally focus on just 1 area. I figure SEA will be awesome for the outdoor opportunities, and ATL for the career opportunities. Can't lose either way.

Turns out 13 senior to 10,250ish awarded sea73nb. Good AE for the most part. 25 more senior sea7erb bid off and only 5 senior bid on.

Mike, I would slow down just a bit. If You did not get it this time you should get another shot at SEA on the next bid. I don't generally tell guys to commute but you might also want to take a look at the Charlotte area. As easy a commute as you can get to ATL and NYC giving you the best possible career options. Lots of great areas in CLT and I would be happy to host you or any Delta pilot who wants to look around. 3 empty bedrooms so bring the kids!

73N vs 7ER

Delta new hire selecting on jan20. I have a relatively high social 96xx and assuming they will be available . I am torn between choosing 73N or 7ER. Anybody have any opinions of QOL and difficulty of training. Thanks!

IOW, no other category has the variety of the 7ER.
