I'm one of those "bubble" guys myself. Not willing to do JFK, don't even try and talk me into it- I've been watching the flights that I "would" have taken and I wouldn't make it to work. If I lose my seat and go back to FO I'd be in the top 10 for MEM 900 on the bid list. I don't want it to happen, but others and myself (junior 9E CA's and very senior 9E Fo's) will remain nervous until this bid is done and things move on.
I'm not "upset" per say, but if I happen to fly with someone who is "junior" but in the left seat due to quotas AND THEY RUB IT IN, it won't be a fun trip. Not a threat, just a hope that everyone remains professional if the outcome is lopsided.
If we make it through this bid without downgrades and quotas met, I don't see it being a calamity.
I still think that everyone needs to bid for where they "want" to be.
