Good point. It’s too bad the incentives aren’t in place system wide (reserve rules, pay bands for 756, etc) to naturally keep the vacancies left for INDOC to 737/320. Those are great airplanes for new hires learning the system and needing reps. IRO/WB not so much.

It’s odd that many new hires have been forced into 756 and are seat locked for 2 yrs. Meanwhile, a new hire in 737 training (hypothetically) can bid 777. Doesn’t seem like it’s best for the company (more training costs) and definitely not the pilots who put themselves in that position.
