IMO, the next AE will really be for affected pilots.
WB B will be in the AE after that, which will also include WB A and many NB A, etc.
The effect being, as several other have pointed out, those who don’t want to stay NYC NB will get a seat lock on the second AE, and never train on the AE that returns them from affected status.
Again, my opinion only.
