The whole reason it’s being held up is on funding for the wars is it not?

This is the sequel to SEA 7ER. It will be a slow drawdown of LAX 7ER with no backfills as pilots bid out. We will see a few As take a swing at LAX 350 or possibly even SEA 330. LAX has quite a few TX commuters who could be tempted by ATL or DTW 330. It's a big relative seniority sacrifice to leave the 7ER for a WB, but a few of the Bs may move over to the 350. The senior pilots who value relative seniority may AE to LAX 320 and fly the 321 NEO for the same pay. Most will be better served waiting it out for the MD in a year.

With a foot stomp and a double "Z" snap too.

I think you're right

Good luck on WB A. You're it now since FLex got the WB B.

I doubt there will be enough contingent vacancies to reach that low. The last AE with 47 NYC 330 A didn't get down to 2007. I'm predicting about a dozen backfills that all go <4,000.

Thanks. My bids are still in from the last few AEs, but I don't see it happening. WBA will be senior to the last two AEs.

Because although there are no NYC330A vacancies, NYC 330A's will bid out to ATL and MSP. Those positions will be backfilled. NYC is historically junior to DTW.

Currently:

DTW 330A = 4010.
NYC 330A = 4559.

Yeah, it's no risk now with the freebee withdrawl.
