Here's my thinking, and welcome any holes you guys can poke.
First regarding 717Bs bidding off. The first class of this wave entered class on Jan 13, 2014. This last AE closed on the 12th. If I understand correctly, no new hires in this wave were eligible to bid off the 717?
More to the point, no new hires have been able to bid off anything (other than the new categories that opened). Which explains the curious fact that a Sept new hire would have higher seniority on the 320 than the 88 in Atl, and can't even hold the 717
My pet theory is that the seat locks are skewing things. My guess is that as seat locks begin to expire and people can move from less desirable fleets, things will return to more 'normal' historic modes--88 getting more junior.
Next few AEs should clear things up. There were 94 folks hired in Jan-Feb 14.
