The combined efficiency of PBS and our data driven approach to everything we now do at Delta has reduced the QOL substantially for junior CAs (FOs also). For many, especially commuters, QOL is better in the right seat of a WB vs left seat NB. The trips are commutable and have higher daily credit. Reserve is more tolerable as a WB FO vs NB CA, in fact some senior pilots actually bid reserve in the winter on WBs.
Also the most junior captain bids were for NYC M88 while the memory of this incident was still fresh.
