Granted that's a much better rationale for a seniority bump than the, "We're superior WB pilots because of our superior aircraft and therefore have more important career expectations than you lowly NB pilots. You don't even have tray tables!" that I've heard before. That's pretty grating.

Fence the WB’s, circle the captains, DOH SLI, then every HNL to legacy AK base transfer un fences an equal number of WB slots or maybe a ratio considering the differential size of the pilot groups. Might be a way to somewhat preserve relative base position. Someone bids in but someone at the top of the list may at the same time bid out for the WB.

That's probably the consensus answer, since that's the whole reason I find the concept of a seniority bonus so repelling. The can have their seniority as long as it stays on the WBs.

Growth can only happen with a strong economic outlook. Undisciplined growth is a disaster for both airlines and airline employees. There are some good economic signs but also more potential black swans than at any time in the history of airlines. Cross your fingers and hope none come to fruition.

Is that a equipment fence? Good luck to us all.

Vs. a narrowbody pilot getting bumped out of their base by a widebody pilot that should be junior to them but isn't? How is that any better?
