Combine that with the 1Q plan to allocate the 76Ts to deeper Europe and the 756s seeing more domestic, they aren't going to see much.
Bottom line is if you are a new hire, there is still a lot of settling that is going to happen over the next year. Bid the 737 or 320 in the base you want/is available, then bid upwards once you get a feel of what happens over the next year.
How about a new hire picking the 756 out of ERW and hoping to get to DCA in a few months? I start next week and am hoping to do that. Not sure how hard it would be to get to DCA. The islands don't seem like a bad place to go from the east coast.
