From: SFO Guppy CA
There is a reason that NYC M88 CA is going down to four months seniority. The M88 makes the Guppy look like an advanced airplane. The reserve flying is horrible in NYC. The reason that four month pilots can upgrade is because more senior pilots don't want to do it. Maybe that should be a warning to those just starting their careers at a Legacy Airline???

Or the RJ guy doing 6 legs a day to the same places over and over making 40-80k. The sacrifice to fly an old airplane in a not as great of base is worth it to a lot of them

There is a selection at the top of the UAL supplement on the AirlineApps application where you can indicate that you are unemployed due to furlough from an ALPA carrier. That helps get your application picked to start the hiring process. I don't know the story behind how that was established.

Doesn't mean much, one way or the other, in 2016.
