Try a base trade. Otherwise all those jr guys are going to make your QOL better for the rest of your career.
It’s one thing to knowingly take a 2yr seat lock into the 777 and know what you’re getting. It’s another to be forced into a 756 which will keep you on the coasts for 2yrs. So yes, I can understand those frustrated watching people junior scoop up their home town in a vacancy. For once AA beats us at something, seat lock rules for new hires.
