Would it be more beneficial to bid over to the -200 and hold a line? I guess it would probably end up being the same pay just more work.

Tony is to old to be able to handle the 5 leg days on the -200.

Props to the ASA MEC for organizing interview prep seminars.

You could look at the January CR7 line awards if you actually work here...

The 200 is a lot more work, and terrible overnights for about $7000 less per year at my seniority.

Nothing... absolutely nothing will happen because they'll all leave within the first few months for more prosperous places.

It's kinda like kids, you'll never really be able to afford them, you just have to make sure you're somewhat stable and go for it (when you and your partner are agreed upon it)... there will never be enough FOs to upgrade, they just have to bite the bullet and upgrade.

I'm less than 100 from the most junior captain. I highly doubt I'll see the left seat in 2015. (and yes, my upgrade bid is in for all bases)

I agree. You won't. The only truth to come from anyone regarding 2015 came from our MEC chair when he said "get your apps out".
