I'm just asking...
Its more a function of fleet size. Somewhere around 160 Airbii versus almost 400 Guppies on property.
So over the last two classes 13 Airbii seats versus 30 guppy seats going to newhires means there probably is not much difference. I've got under a year and a half on property, and in some bases I'd be senior on the Bus, others I'd be senior on the Guppy. The last time I looked at the vacancy window before it closed, I could hold DEN 320, but not DEN 737; IAH 737, but not IAH 320. I'd be more senior on the 737 in SFO, but more senior on the bus in DCA.
Pretty much a wash.
