WB is a bit more problematic. As the world continues to open, WB will most likely continue to get more senior to include the 765B as it's returned to international. There are 155 321neos coming which will give a lot of progression to that fleet. The 73 could change into that at the drop of a hat should a MAX buy ever be announced. A wild card to all of this will be the announcement of a 320 BOS base which will suck all of the senior BOS shuttle guys from the A side north leaving a gaping hole in NYC for the intrepid bidder looking to stick his face in something sharp. Bottom line: if you are a committed NYC guy, the world is your oyster seniority wise as you will get the chance to bid into positions you will not be able to hold for years at another base. Currently: I think the 73 does more Caribbean flying. Not a huge amount of red eyes on either.
Okay, much more in line with that I expected. I figured the bottom 50% was a churn. I don’t have a lot of desire to fly WB (did five years of it already), just want the option of sitting reserve on it at some point. Thanks for the intel.
