Completely agree. Let's say for example the top 10 CA's in LAS take the Airbus. That means the last 2 will sit reserve, since I would assume with 10 pilots they would have 2 reserve lines. Those 2 guys, if they stay in the 80, could (and do now) have great lines. If I were in their shoes (I am not) I would be very careful to bid the Airbus on this first bid. That is why I'm not totally convinced all 10 slots will go senior.
