exactly. The trend of 765A being more senior than 330A will continue for a but longer, but will swing the other way in the next few years. Look at the B side 765 v 330..330 already more senior because junior pilots know this is an airbus company for the forseeable future.

Was the BS comment made today? I'm just curious when to start counting the extra day or two

It sounds like code for reducing backfills. I thought monthly AEs meant continuous improvement. CR still can't resist the opportunity for achieving perfection even when the next adjustment is 30 days away.

Prob even fewer 7ER slots like they did last month. I know we lowered our 2024 expectations slightly on the last call.

…not to mention folks have recognized the absurdity of having an omnipresent yoke for legs blocking 8-14 hours.

Careful. Pretty soon they will say it's absurd to have 2 pilots at the controls for 8-14 hours. I try not to embrace the technology that will eventually become our own demise.

Airbus is also a natural progression. The 330 is a short course from the 320. The 350 is a short course from the 330. Still going more junior than expected. As more openings are available on the 765A it will start to go more junior than the Airbus WB fleets. IMO, the demand won't be too high for a 21 aircraft fleet with less than optimal rest seat and not too much variety in flying.

Think that'll be offset by senior ER A who jump over as the ER loses more long haul flying.
