Is there a ‘Yes to all’ box? I feel that would save me a lot of time.

With a recommendation like that, NB A sounds like a better choice than it used to be. I'm staying the course to go WB B to WB A and won't take a risk on a seat lock.

Emphasis on dozing. Cuz you're continually tired and getting naps vs a full night's sleep.

Best dozing for dollars gig out there is the pilot sleeping at home on LC, collecting 72-84hrs of pay with minimal block hours or TAFB for the month.

Completely understandable, that was my plan at one time as well. Probably not going to be all that hard for you and you can be the next flex we all root for.

The main threats to this thesis are Airbus supply chain issues slowing down deliveries or an unsuspected Black Swan event

Not trying to reopen this conversation, but saw in the NY Fall Base Visit slide deck (slide 7 and 11), that we will net only a high single-digit of WB deliveries between now and the end of 24, as they are retiring some 763’s. That’s directly from Network. Not posting the internal data here.
