Not sure how long this will last. However the last system bid that just came out has A320 captain going junior to E190 captain. 3 yrs and 7 months on property held A320 captain in this most recent bid. Granted you will be on reserve for 5 years or so. Will never see a weekend, holiday, or...

Not bad
I was in our MCO crew room last week. There is an ANTI-ALPA sign stateing why you should not send in a support card. Is this an old sign that was never taken down from the last vote or is the company already starting the ANTI ALPA propoganda.
