Grammar/reading comprehension Nazi time.
1) Read 2nd sentence, 2nd paragraph in my quote which begins "In 1990 I sat at 2am with a fellow FE..."
2) In 1966, fellow FE had 3 job offers from Delta, American, and Braniff. (Dang, I wasn't quick enough to edit original BNF spelling error.)

Thread bump.
I have found myself in the same position as the OP. AA vs DAL.
I am a commuter to both airlines as I will not be moving to a domicile.
Can someone give any insight into where seniority numbers lie for each airline, specifically:
1. Junior WB FO
2. Junior NB CA 737/A320/1 (I'd prefer to exclude the 190/MD-80/88 since they're going away for both airlines)
3. Junior WB CA
Thanks in advance.

New guy here trying to learn...
A recent post in the AA section recommended that if you're interested in international flying then you should try to get to Delta or United vs. American. However, these numbers seem to show that's not the case. Seniority numbers for AA and Delta are about the same for wide body FO and CA, but projected turnover at AA means you'd get there faster at AA than at Delta.
In any case, it looks to me like a new hire at AA could be a wide body FO in 3-4 years or a narrow body CA at 4-5 years. Widebody CA is of course harder to predict but it seems to me that a new guy could be getting close in 15 years or so.
Am I interpreting that right?

I’m sure delta has something similar but AA has a great commuter policy. You don’t need a backup flight and your commute does not have to be on company metal. If you miss your flight you simply call scheduling and they take you off the trip.

2 flights at Delta. The second one has to be on DAL or DeltaConnection, you’ll get positive space on it.
