Unless I'm missing something, how was it unfair to East? No flame bait here, I'm sure there is more to it but would love to hear what.
No ignorance at all on your part AA73 you are spot on correct! The top 500 went east so only WEST most senior pilots lost major percentage points. The rest was slotting as you have pointed out.
Now truth be told here the east wants to take its most JR pilot who was one number away from furlough and make him mid level line holding captain at the expense of the west. They have STOLEN so much now that people hired in 07 are sitting capt while we have west pilots hired in the 90's stuck as first officers.
