I'd say that everyone except the top ten on the 190 bid off, either to 190 CA or more likely to AB F/O. The problem is, there aren't a lot of vacancies on the LUS side, so some guys are getting stuck in the right seat.
The pay difference is $40 so most jump ship. Used to be you'd jump straight into a secondary line, but that's not the case anymore. I'm at the start of my third year and barely holding a secondary in PHL. Lots of former 190 guys on reserve.
What is your concern with training? It's easy...
