I can see where I wasn’t clear. My point is, it sucks that the current seat lock system which is in use system wide applies to new hires. I don’t know the rules everywhere but I know AA seat lock is only 6 months.
It’s odd that the system prevents new hires forced into the 756 from flying more beneficial platforms like the 737/320 for such a long period despite rapid movement in the system.
