Those heartland boys better include a percentage in their bid or they could wind up commuting to reserve. Ouch.
I thought about bidding the 330, but only for a minute. I do not mind the jet, and would not mind the pay bump. 12+ hr flights are a plus, but it is the MED destinations and the limited city pairs that had me think twice. The ER goes everywhere and I love that variety. If I can keep it, it is where I will stay. A small category like atl will have on the 330 leads to weird trips, and limited options.
Look at NYC's 777 and 765 seats for an example.
