It's one thing to be guy 10 of a 110, its another to all of a sudden drop to be guy 20 of 80 with the ALV going up. If you are 20 of 80 you're probably 20 of 40-50 on reserve and likely to get SC or trips as guys ahead get zapped real quick.

So the lesson is, good deals will get corrected.
Probably depends on the category. I've seen system wide seniority #'s as high as 5800 on the NYC 7ER B Reserve Availibilty List!
