What is approx bring home pay like for 1st year FO, and 2nd year FO? If it matters, Im married and would likely take benefits dependant on how they compare to the wife's workplace offerings. Trying to see if it's financially doable to make the leap and ride it out for a couple years or until upgrade.

For lines, you bid in the seniority of your base. The people in a particular base that have been with the company the longest time with the company bid first. You only bid with people in your base, so your seniority in your base is important, but it is your seniority in the company that determines your base seniority as well.

Ive heard of people thinking that the time that they have in their base matters more as compared to overall seniority number. This is obviously not true. Your overall seniority number is what determines your base seniority. If the most senior FO in the company leaves one base and moves to another, he is then the most senior in that new base.

If you are number 50 at DAY, then move to CLT with 100 pilots there, and highest seniority at CLT is 51 you don't go above that pilot cause he has been there longer. But you move somewhere in between the 100 pilot group.

Ok. We were told wrong then. Basically what the lady said was, if you jump ship to a new base, regardless of company seniority, you will move down the list due to the fact that some people at that base have already been there for a while.
If you are number 50 at DAY, then move to CLT with 100 pilots there, and highest seniority at CLT is 51 you don't go above that pilot cause he has been there longer. But you move somewhere in between the 100 pilot group.

Your base seniority is calculated by your overall seniority. You can jump bases all you want and you keep your overall seniority. You do bid for vacations in each base. If you jump bases, you have to rebid for your vacation. Pretty much, you bid on what is left.
