It's like I said, if there are net gains, there are vacancies for ALL to bid. And many outside of the 756/76T fleets have bid them (including EWR 320 CAPs). As for me, I've already said I have NOT taken a BAT, but could have. It's not about me. I just get it, meaning I understand it, and I have no problem with it.
I looked at the bids you suggested and best I can tell it was only 10 756 CAP in EWR. Over that period there has a been about 40 756 CAP move to EWR of that 30 were BAT and only 10 were actual 756 CAP EWR bids. You can work your fuzzy math and come back with the number to justify your argument but let's stick to the EWR 756 BIDS when you do. Dates and numbers of the award would be nice.
I think I remember these same words being uttered before "It's not about me. I just get it, meaning I understand it, and I have no problem with it." And you couldn't be farther from the truth. You give up seniority once and it's lost forever. BAT was about the company and not about the pilots or pilot seniority.
