Thanks
That’s only for new categories that open. You can’t bid from say NYC220 to ATL320 to get out of your seat lock. They would have to open a new category or a new base (for instance BOS320 or MSP717)
Don’t get wrapped too much around the difference in pay at year 2. If you do the math, you’re talking the difference of 2-5 hours a month. Lots of ways to make that up, especially with better seniority on the lower paying aircraft. Depending on your situation (commuting to a higher paying aircraft, for instance), it may not be worth it.
