I totally understand the desire to seek the best QOL but for it to go that JR is very surprising.

Quick question while looking at the results. i noticed a 9/16 M88 got awarded a 7ER slot. I thought that you could only trade aircraft after the 1 year freeze unless you were awarded a new category (like the MSP one on this AE)? Everyone else looked like they had hit their 1 year mark before moving off the M88. Just checking to see if I understood the year freeze based on what everyone has been saying here.

Money can create its own QOL.
How important is having a weekend off? How "good" is it as a 2 year FO on the -88 or 717 vice the left seat of same? is reserve "that" bad? Is holding a line as an FO 80-100k better?
At FedEx, the bottom 20% flies the same kind of crap. Why not fly it for more money?
Good thing is guys have options. Lots of different options means lots of happy pilots...whatever their niche. Exciting times! I have some new hire friends at FDX going to the 777 out of training. Wonderful trends in the industry...hope it continues a long time...

I like it.
I can have A LOT of guys below me on ATL88A. But I still can't touch the 330B in ATL or NYC, just DTW, at nearly 9 years on this bid. (I can on previous ones I believe)
And when I say a lot below, please understand, that's still being on PBS award page 58 of like 69 by that point. And I want to be on page 69. So forget everything I said.
