I dont doubt that the plane is cool but most pilots care more about money and QOL than how cool the airplane is. I can't think of many people that would bid to a lower paying category.
We still don't know what the mission will be. If it involves a bunch of red eyes from the west coast it will be a new hire aircraft for sure.

I've been hearing NYC or LAX/SEA for awhile. Yes, the rumors did seem to favor the west coast. I thought you had something a little more substantial that I missed. The mass exodus of the -88 in NYC seemed like a pretty sure thing the C-series would go there, but I guess they covered that stuff with the 320.

Relatively speaking I guess. But things are changing rapidly and new hires are getting LA, and SEA and SLC are going more and more junior. Once they grow the west coast enough, it will be jam packed with new hires, most commuters, who don't want to be there, and will bid out ASAP to include a sizable amount greater than NYC, which is far closer and an easier commute to a significant majority of commuters.

I was not, but I'm guessing you are thinking of the anomaly of the first group of pilots bidding to the aircraft to hopefully get trained and then sit and get paid until the airplanes actually show up.
I have no doubts that that will also happen with the CS100, but after that first wave it will go junior for FO's. I see very few people bidding to the 717.
