A gut feeling says don't count on LAX 320 because as displacements are processed, guys are gonna leave LAX Airbus as #1 so they are processed as forced displacements. Don't know how senior the SEA 320 CA and FO seats will go. Even if current SEA Boeing guys bid over to the Airbus for better seniority, those vacated 737 spots have to be filled too. If I had to guess, I think this time around you'll see newhires get SEA (something that hasn't happened recently in the last several bids).
Thanks for the insight, once again. I know they’re running two classes in March. (1 x Boeing and 1 x Bus). I’m operating under the assumption that the Bus class will be primarily (if not entirely) SFO. Guess we’ll see in a few weeks. It’s amazing how quickly things change in this industry...
