I got two weeks in June. Far better than I got when I was sub 50% in the ER right seat. (NYC Both airplanes)

Say what?? What category? I couldn’t touch summer vacation ATL 73N A and I was bidding 70%.

Can still hope though 🤪. In my very inexperienced opinion, NB A could hold junior-ish as more and more go to WB B where the cushy flying and QOL is. How junior is junior-ish, don’t know but I’m hoping around 1-1.5 years. Good luck everyone ending up where you want. Cheers 🥃

I guarantee you the big guy upstairs doesn’t give two ****s about whether you hold NB A or not. It’s all math. Where do we need positions and how are guys senior to you bidding.

Totally agree, as it should.

Not sure if we are talking about the same “big guy” upstairs. Mine has nothing to do with the company and is more just there when ya need him kind of “big guy”. 🤷‍♂️🥃.

I find it nice to have a hope/goal, something to strive for, and a little prayer never hurt, I don’t think.

IMO the next 2-3 years will continue to have 1 year or less upgrades. 30ish 717s still to be reactivated, 220 deliveries continue, and WB deliveries will continue to mount upward pressure on movement.
