I eyeballed that. Very confusing in certain ways. It does a good job of explaining the order for AE and VD's. Then, it does a good job of explaining the order for MD's. But it doesn't explain how the two intermix. I'm guessing it is AE's and VD's first in seniority order, then MD's in inverse order. I'm looking at the LAX320 category. Most of the MD's are from 717 guys. So I'm guessing they'll be converting over to the 320 last in order to slowly wind down that category over the next 8-12 months.
