Hmmm pick the plane that you will be the plug on for a very long time (145)(until you get displaced off of it), or take the plane(175)/class that every new hire will be going to , gain seniority, and get off reserve quicker than 4 years?
That's one way to look at it. Or say he or she was a young guy or gal who was going to be lowest seniority in a class of 20. That's a few months he could flow earlier and upgrade earlier than if he or she had waited a few weeks and still not be guranteed the 175. Also you mention displacement. He or she can now displace ahead of everyone who wants to wait a class. Gotta tough it out every once in a while.
