It'll be interesting to see how today's announcement of deferring 61 737s indefine tly affect this bid and the future bids.
I fly with quite a few FOs who were waiting for those 737s to arrive before upgrading so they could have better seniority. I imagine a lot of bypasse pilots are going to jump to the CA seat now that growth is off the table. Upgrade time probably just went from 5 years to 10.
WB FO seats are probably going to go more senior now too........grab a seat you want now or you are going to miss the boat. Well still have upward movement but at a much slower rate than we all planed.
