Some of the B's are out via the backdoor.

Like it or hate it, the new reserve system has opened up options wayyy down the category lists.

ATLDC9B has 2 guys bidding rsv on page 1. On the other end of the list, #3 from the bottom of the category is a REG pilot - good for him if he's a commuter, or doesn't want to get punished on reserve.

While some argue that the bucket system slants too far in favor of guys "taking a month" off, an unexpected consequence (at least to me) is that guys further down the category are able to hold a line than they have in the past. It's just a different way of distributing the goodies among the group.

That said, junior reserve will SUCK in a short category over the summer, especially if you can't hold weekends off.
