And for the lotto win, how many slots will I move down in category? Whoever guesses closest gets free beers whenever they run across me. No really.
I'll take a shot with a 777 DTW dart. There are a number of pilots who live in ATL who commute to DTW to fly. A number of these pilots have been interested in bidding back to ATL, but have not been able to.
My prediction: DTW 777 FOs will bid to ATL 777 and A 330. Additionally, VDs from DTW 777B went senior on the last bid - further demonstrating the pent up desire to bid out. IOW, my guess is that none of them will bid the 88, half of the FOs can hold the 73n, 320, 767, 7er, 330 and 777 left seat.
FTB, here's your chance to be an 88A.
