It's also worth mentioning that an October 2012 new hire will also hold a line in Philly in February.
So right now the time to hold a line in Philadelphia on the Airbus is dropping from two years and seven/eight months to a year and three/four months!!!!
July 2012 and fall 2012 guys have caught sporadic secondaries in DCA as well.
Looking forward at the Jan pairings and open time, it looks like one of the unintended consequences of FAR117 is that there may be a goodly amount of secondaries.
