trust me you can get DTW first pick, you'd be surprised there's a lot of east coasters at least on the FO side that want NY. Latest Mock snap shows January hires holding lines...... aka they've done 1 month of reserve.... nobody believes me when I talk about upgrade time about to drop off the cliff and I believe it has started with this last vacancy.. 85 upgrades not to mention the guys and gals that just upgraded on the last one who will be leaving to Delta here in the next 6 months. The ones that upgraded did it for the pay and the ones that are holding out are doing it for the QOL. don't base your decision in fear of being in NYC. if it were to happen you can bid out before you're even out of sim
