Looking at the snapshot from yesterday, I've got a question for the WB guys. Why are the 777 FO slots going senior to the 787 FO slots?
The 777 slots in the snapshot are going from 6000 seniority to 10,000.
The 787 slots go from 7800 to 11,700. So there's about an 1800 seniority shift, or two years seniority, mas o menos.
Any theories on this from some SFO wide body guys?
QOL is better? more efficient trips on the triple? Why the difference here?
Just my guess, but junior 787 flying in SFO increasingly sucks. You won't avoid a 5-6 day China trip esp in summer once you get past 50%. Can't trade out of them and those trips get old fast. Senior stuff is some of best in system, but other then occasional bunkie seat you won't get it.
