Anyone know if there have been delays between the LOE and OE on the 330? Thanks!

Maybe I'm crazy, but my logic is why wait out on the NBB side for the <30% seniority status when my QOL won't dramatically improve before then. Anyway as others have said here, what's nice about DL is we get to have our little pocket while 16.5k other pilots get to have theirs.

Are NBB bidding with senior LCAs (better trips hence better odds of not trading them) getting regularly bought off?

I haven’t had a LCA trip bought off since July. I’ve flown 6 trips with LCA’s since then. Might just be bad luck, but all check airman definitely aren’t being utilized completely anymore.

NB A plug right at 14,7XX, or ~86%

Very similar to the final results of the last AE, with NB A being a little more junior. Mid-Bid seems to trend a little more junior that final award.

It is just a mock bid but I believe it's a sign of things to come. Pilots now see seniority as currency to leverage better QOL rather than going for junior positions on prestigious fleets. The WB A Wall will Fall
