Yeah I agree that is why NYC is so junior, but the fleet has people avoiding it much more than in 2007. In SLC we are 22 numbers from a 2014 hire holding the ER. The plug in LAX on the ER was hired 8 weeks ago. It's not just NYC. It has never been that junior out here. Nobody wants to bid it because they are afraid they will get booted off within a year or two and the flying stinks if you are junior. That's why I'm not bidding it.
