Absolutely not true. Out of the 60 FOs that we have in ACY, 51 want to be there. There is almost no movement for ACY FOs since the senior ones aren't upgrading because they can't sit reserve from home, or are enjoying being senior.
ACY is junior for FO's (only 9 last bid), but the ones that don't want to be there will probably never have to fly a trip out of there. By the time they're done training, they are based in FLL or DTW.
