Jesus people, this isn’t a simple math problem. Just go with where you can get hired and gave the best QOL. You are all asking… and answering the wrong questions.
Regardless, you never know what was right until you die anyway.
just find a job that pays you to fly airplanes and enjoy it.
oh and to the moron that thinks a less than one year upgrade is a good thing… WTF? How many pilots are at Delta? About 15k, let say half are FOs. That means 7,00 FO wanted nothing to do with that upgrade. That is not a good thing.
10 year upgrade is to much.
2 year upgrade is to little
5-7 is just right.

But there's more to it than just numbers... consider domiciles, culture, etc. I sure wouldn't commute if If could live in base for any of those three.

My order of importance
1. Can I live in base?
2. Everything else.

I think what the dude is saying is careful what you wish for. Sure if you need money and don’t mind working red eyes every weekend and holiday then have at it. Otherwise it’s best to go to an airline where you can live in base. End story. Full stop

None of this has anything to do with my follow-up question.

Ah I see. My bad. What exactly are you asking then? Your question can be taken 2 ways. Ty
At face value if you and the other guy are insinuating that the gentleman is claiming you are not fit to upgrade, then you took it entirely wrong. He is talking about QOL. There is a reason that FOs pass on junior upgrades.
