Besides current m88 FO's, who would bother bidding m88A in ATL? If they're junior, it could be a year for conversion plus the full training footprint. All that just to get displaced off of a closing fleet in 2020!?
I assume the slots are for the displaced captains and they will not award anyone junior to 2016 hire date because it would be pointless.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
