Yeah.. I've had it as my "first realistic" behind the pie in the sky 330 and 350A slots.
My seniority is within a percent of the 320 on the ER, like 83.1% vs 83.8%, but as it's a bigger category, a lot more bodies to suck up coverage on the bottom of the ER. Guys on the ER at my seniority usually don't get coverage either RES or Line, I think I've had 2 months where I didn't get a coverage award in 2 years on the 320.
The uncommutable stuff on the bottom of the ER bid pack is more "gentlemanly" uncommutable, 7-8 AM JFK reports vs 5am LGA. And backside while it may be uncommutable, it's not midnight curbside at LGA with a 30 minute wait for UBERs and surge pricing. There is the occasional 0530 show on the ER, but it's not 30% of the bid pack.
2 day MEX 320 .. 5 am report, 2 legs, 22rh layover, 2 legs, 2300 land, 2330 release
2 day MEX 7ER 0820 report, 1 leg 24hr layover, 1 leg, 2130 release.
Neither are commutable, but the ER I'm getting up at 7am at my crashpad vs 0345, and I'm in bed at the pad and asleep before I'd even land at LGA.
Sad because I love the plane aside from it's very, very pokey performance, but the bid pack sucks. If I'm gonna work every holiday, I'd rather be spending it in AUA, SXM, or DSS vs OMA, FSD and BIL.

Wow. 150 numbers more junior than the Mock. Very interesting. Maybe Trip will be proven right! Though the non-NYC-330 WB A plug was 1000 numbers more senior at 345X.
Yeah, that was disappointing for sure

Yeah the mock one seemed to have very little resemblance to the final. What's the point of it?
