Just filled out my spreadsheet for what I can hold in each base, each aircraft. I noticed that the NCYB 320 went extremely low... I can hold 30% higher there than DTW320B, and 40% higher than MSP or SLC... and 64% higher than ATL320B!
This seems too be an anomaly... I notice that all the seniority numbers I can hold for a particular aircraft are usually within a 10% range, with NYC being lowest, then MSP, DTW, SLC, LAX, CVG, ATL, SEA (highest). However, in this new bid, NYC320B is way below everything else. Do folks think this is just people standing by to see how it shakes out and what the trips are like, then they'll bid into it? Or will NCY320B stay so junior, 30% below the next base (DTW) for a 10 year guy? Makes me almost willing to move to PA...

Johnso29 & Lobo,
Wellllll........I've been re-educated!
: According to the scheduler, it's because I'm in an international category. They can use me for an international trip but have to give me 24hrs before a domestic trip. I should be pretty safe with the coverage my category has.

That's because everyone that wanted 320B apparently came to ATL. There's almost a 40% difference in my relative seniority on like category in DTW or NYC. About 30% in MSP.
