Never said it was, but it’s dropping…which most everyone would agree is a good thing. Save for ATL/MCO, you’ll be able to hold any base in the left seat in under 8 years soon….

Also, currently about $1M less in retirement funding vs DL and UA at the end of a 30-year career. Check out this post for details.
Oh ya, also no long call reserve, very few commutable trips, and no ability to give trips up to the company.

Not entirely, but if there is a non-etops reserve available they'll get the domestic trip before assigning it to the EBG reserve. Even if it's a turn and the EBG reserve has 1 day left and the non-EBG reserve is starting a 4-day. this info is a few years old though so maybe they've closed that loophole...

This is important but equally important are the company apologists who say, “just pay me more and I’ll park where I want”. Missing the point to an absurd degree. It’s an industry standard cost of doing business.
So going with the plumber analogy, plumbers cost $XXX per hour AND get paid parking at the job site!
We can’t keep letting these guys get away with selling every little perk and benefit of being an airline pilot for an extra buck or two per TFP! There is a lot more to a mature airline CBA than pay rates.

All training in Dallas. Indoc is about two weeks, rolling right into systems for a week, then rolling right into automation and CPT procedures for a week, then rolling right into sims for two weeks. Mostly 6 on 1 off with a varying 3-4 days off between systems and automation and then a couple days off before sims depending on your schedule.
Whole footprint is about 60 days.

Seen your name a couple times- appreciate your insight mate.
Don’t have a CJO yet, hoping for big things shortly. I live about 40 min from DAL, so it’ll be nice to be near home.
