I don't mean any disrespect, but I noticed this posted on another thread. It was posted by an AirTran Captain.
I’m having difficulty understanding why you would not be thrilled with this.
1. You would have had a Captain Retention Slot for 10 years.
2. You would probably lose relative seniority as a Capt in ATL as the base downsized
3. However, your seniority of 61% would have you at about 22% FO seniority on the Master Seniority list. At 22% FO seniority on the MSIL you would have the following:
a. Greater Career Expectations than you had on 26 September 2011
b. Regarding your Quality of life, you would go from 29% to 22% in a better system.
c. Significantly higher Career Earnings (more than $1,000,000)
d. The ability to make long range financial plans working for the most stable and secure Major Airline in the Industry.
e. The ability to move to any of 9 domiciles and have a superior Quality of Life.
f. If you want to make cash – as a 22% FO, you could make 300k, if you wanted to work hard.
g. If you wanted more days off to spend with your family, as a 22% FO, you could easily drop your line, work 7-8 days at Premium Pay and still make more than you currently do as an AAI Captain.
The only downside is that you would move from the left seat to the right seat. Help me understand why this movement from left to right makes all of the above realities “Not Worth the Deal”.
I'm pretty typical . . . . . 29% on our list, would be at 61%, placed next to guys hired almost 4 years later than me.
