There is also a very healthy captain upgrade vacancy bid which will eat into the elements listed above.
This business is very complex with a ton of moving parts. Some places are just better at dealing with it than others.

One third of the ENY fleet is still 145s. (Yeah, they don’t talk a whole lot about that. Bad for recruiting, and especially bad for you if you’re on the bottom of the seniority list for your class) The sims are being moved, and it is a long process, so taking 145 capacity out of the picture fo a while.
