Minor leverage. Nice.
Maybe better junior QOL could be bargained to incentivize the many qualified to upgrade.

What really strikes me is how the West Coast upgrades and transitions have come to a near-total halt.

For example (these are award dates, not hire dates!)

Last SFO ER7 upgrade award date: 11/30/16
Last SFO CRJ upgrade award date: 12/20/16
Last LAX ER7 upgrade award date: 11/30/16
Last LAX CRJ upgrade award date: 12/01/16

SEA and PDX show no upgrades after 11/1/16. There were a couple CRJ upgrades in FAT and three upgrades in PSP this month.

Even transfers into West Coast bases have pretty much shut down.

Crazy how much it has expanded. As always, no movement again on the DEN CRJ side. If it wasn't for those delta benefits I would probably switch to the dark side.

Is it just me or does it look like a lot of E175 FOs were bypassed for upgrade?
