Your argument about widebodies getting higher ALVs in a deal for targeted ALVs (in the next 6 months) is incorrect IMO. They will get higher ones next summer but before then hello low ALVs. As to you implication that the company needs wideboby A’s now......if it actually did as badly as you imply, management would not have negotiated to allow VEOPers like me to leave earlier if we want to.

I have never posted widebodies would get a higher ALV in exchange for anything. I pointed out that widebody staffing is actually low compared to other fleets and the statements that the company is asking for a targeted ALV for widebodies only is incorrect. If the company got a ALV they can target the lowest ALV’s on average it would be the narrow bodies. The 777 shutdown and the VEOP radically changed where the biggest pilot surpluses are now found. The bid just closed backs that up and might even have been the biggest widebody award in company history. Certainly the largest that was not a 1 year bid.
