Correct, but... What's even better is that when you Return to Work (RTW), IF it has been over 6 months, you can just select any position that went junior to you on an AE while you were out. In some cases, you can select any position junior to you becuse the company doesn't really bother to actually check if it was on an AE. It's under "Leaves of Absences", PWA 13.C.2.b. YMMV.

Just my opinion and worth what you pay. I think they were beefing up the catagory in anticipation of the max deliveries. And then…. we all know how well that’s going.

CASM matters but it doesn't rule the universe and its OK to take some planes that aren't the most stretched versions even if on paper CASM is higher, especially if it can get us more metal faster when we need it and are already staffed for it.

While I get that, is there any way we could convert some to 7M, 8M or even NG orders of ANY size?

BTW, WB options associated with the 20 A350-1000 deal show as 10 A350-900s and 10 A330-900NEOs on the 10-Q.

And the Lion Air deal in the past doesn't remedy the need for more metal now. If 7m 8M or NG airframes of any size were available sooner that seems like it would help a lot. Not a massive order, but a small one. We're already stafed for them which means free pilot labor! Lol, kind of anyway.
