But it also means when WB A does hit those folks, the DOH date to hold it will drop rapidly. I've said before I predict the only thing that will lower the WB A "wall" is additional pay-banded WB's on property. All through the Pre-Covid through Post Covid seniority swings, the WB A seniority never changed all that much.
Yep, it'll drop to 2014/2015 hires fast but then take a long time to go much lower considering we've hired what, 9k pilots since 2014? Maybe more.

Anyone else notice a few super senior WB As bidding to WB B? Maybe throttle back in the final years by buddy bidding as number 1 FO?

hard to say. Backfills create training cascades which is a company ‘avoid’ criteria. They might just wait a month and offer a few extra WB seats then with the hole that they’ll minimize churn.

I wonder if we’ll start seeing ‘seasonal’ bidding now, assuming if CR can actually keep a bidding schedule. Also it will be interesting to see if the OOB pickups continue or if they were simply a consequence of the distorted SL over the last few cycles.

Or maybe tired of seeing senior FO's making more $ than them by playing the payback day game to max advantage. The first day of those Joberg trips can really add up.

I guess I should have included something to denote the sarcasm.

1-3 per category. Not that much worth mentioning. Just like suspected, some will do it but a majority of people just complain on the line saying they will but never will. Every AE is the same.

Huh? I had never heard such a thing existed, and I just checked the AE page (it's a very long page with a lot of stuff, mostly historical in nature). No titles that are even in the ballpark of a "dry run" or something similar. Please provide some clarity.
