One man's trash is another's man's treasure. One can be sipping a Guava Mezcal at Rosa Negra in Mexico City and wonder why in the world so many avoid MEX layovers

I can see how the trip sucks on the NYC ER for being uncommutable on both ends and being low credit, but as a local perma reserve bidder I’d way rather have MEXs eat up all my 4 day blocks than three day Europes.

best food, great hotel, cheap, so much to do. IMHO one of, if not the best layovers in the system.

I've bid for, and gotten a month of nothing but MEX.

Agreed. Great gym as well. Work off those calories from the dizzying array of food options

Mock is out. As expected, BOS went very senior.

BOS 330 A 24xx
BOS 330 B 11,3xx
NB A 14,7xx (much closer to post-Covid historical %)
WB A 44xx (also similar to recent norms)
WB B 11,9xx(a little senior to recent norms)

Not surprisingly, BOS seems to have come primarily from NYC categories, especially the 330. Remember, unlike the final, the mock awards all posted positions - final results typically go senior to the Mock bid…

I don’t see any backfill to NYC330.

I see -33NYC WBA, -20NYC 7ERA.
-30ATL7ERA, -3ATLWBA (net)
A few positive, a few net negative WBA the other bases.
So much for a growth WB bid.
Real bid will probably be worse.

The final WBAs could be senior to the September AE which hit 43xx seniority.
