Truth be told, the longer JB takes to hire me, the more I'm leaning towards staying at AAG, froma purely monetary perspective. If ya'll get a good CBA though, that'll change the equation.
With that in mind your seniority as an Airbus captain will accrue much quicker at AA than it would at JB. All pilots senior to you at JB will be A320 captains. Whereas at AA those senior to you will be spread out as widebody and 757 captains.
If you plan on commuting to work, it is a no-brainer....stay with AAG. If you want to live in domicile and drive to work consider this:
JFK - both
BOS- both
FLL- both (MIA for AA)
MCO - JB
LGB- both (LAX for both)
ORD - AA
CLT - AA
PHL - AA
DFW - AA
As for BOS, currently senior at AA. Will they grow the domicile? Unknown. Will JB shrink MCO? Unknown.
Good luck with your decision. Lots to think about.
Remember....74% of AA pilots gone in 15 years. At JB that number is 28%.
