My guess is to meter down the Airbus Captains and prevent cross bidding. If they open a SEA domicile there will be a bunch of cross bidding going on and that’ll cost a ton of money. Keeping it going with small bids like we just did we’re we get rid of 10-20 CA’s at a time will work pretty well as the fleet goes away. No matter how many crews overnight in SEA it’s still way cheaper than running people through the schoolhouse.
