Are you talking about in overall percent?

WB A went down to 23%
WB B went down to 69%

Interestingly, The plug WB A in the company was on this bid, NYC 330 A, a category where the plug dropped about 1000 numbers to 3825. I suspect that's an anomaly, but we'll see. The non-NYC WB A plug is DTW 350, which is 3179, a pretty large gap of 650 numbers. As previously noted, there are a moderate number of WB deliveries in the next year.

The 330 has been operating out of SLC for years with 3-4 daily departures. This isn’t about a performance issue, this is management afraid of opening a new category.

I imagine the system wide ripple effects of opening SLC 330 would create a tremendous training churn.

I wouldn’t be surprised if half of the initial SLC 330 crews come from other bases. It’s not like it’s adding more flying, it’s taking those 48 hour layovers from ATL and SEA crews.

SLC has 40! 320A with seniority less than 3000. I bet most come from there.

Not really looking at seniority numbers, more of open positions. I could do the leg work, but honestly won’t take the time. We all know current retirements (current book 65) have a good number of spots opening up, so it’s a question of deliveries and retirements for open WBA/B slots that begs the question for upcoming AE’s. When/where strikes a chord. Eyeballing a WBB spot vs senior NBB, but contemplating NBA at the same time. Of course I want FLEX to get his spot, but we always plot for ourselves.
