Can you guys usually take a full 34 pax on PHL-ISP? Just trying to judge if the wife and I will be okay. Thanks!

Also, what are the details of the flow? I realize it is all dependent on hiring, etc. But, what are the details of number of pilots per month? This question will spark plenty of options, as I know it is a variable, but how long would a person being hired today be around before getting their flow?
The contract says base of 3 per month per year AA hires, and an additional 1 per month for every 125 pilots over the baseline of 350 pilots.
To answer your upgrade question, if you have 1000 hours 121 coming in, you will be in upgrade before you're off FO reserve.

How are things there similar and/or different from flying for mother blue?

The biggest worry I have is will I know the right seat stuff well enough to be able to monitor a total noob FO from the left seat. I am waiting to see how junior the jet goes, I would prefer that to the dash.
