Not the case for guys hired at NJA from 2001-2004 though.

Agreed... but there is no way in "H-E-Double hockey sticks" that I would live in NYC or anywhere close. Thankfully I will never have to worry about it, but no way living up there is worth it. The taxes and cost of living alone would drive me nuts.

Maybe that's why NY MD80 captain goes so junior at Delta. They have 12000 pilots or so? I'm suspicious of any Captain seat in which 6000 first officers say ".... naaah. Thanks anyway, I'm good."
