Back on topic, I suspect you are right, and we will see the WB’s going much more senior than the last couple of bids.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the NB A’s though.

I don’t think I’ve ever even ridden on the 765. Do some or all of ours have a bunk? To me that would be relevant to the forecast of seniority in contrast to 330/350.

A better pay rate is but one AE away.

It's a Delta One suite, 4D. In terms of distance from the cockpit, it's easy and quick. It works for some and not for others. I am average sized and had no problem laying on my back or side and sleeping soundly. My biggest issue was that if I needed to get up and use the facilities was the dismount and putting my shoes back on without running the seat from flat back to seated position.

Last night at the Flight Ops pub event, TH said 330 SLC next august. Said it would be locked into 4 destinations. I think a couple of them were CDG and LHR, but I was not paying that much attention. .

Of course as we know, that can change in about 30 minutes.

No bunk, and you’re going to do a lot of LHR. Bid pack on 330 far more “interesting”.

Another advantage is no "Cart Jousting" trying to get back to the flight deck after the third break.

What will also slow down newhire WB B slots is next summer we will start hitting the 2 years locks on our post-COVID newhires. By the autumn we were up to 150-200/month.

Don’t forget all the UNA pilots after the April rebid. All of those are coming out of their seat lock soon.

Many have already had locks released or upgraded, to balance it.
