Realistically it will have a very minimal impact on your drop. The only way it would significantly affect it is if there's some very unexpected unfilling of certain prime vacancies. Think unfilled captain positions, or 330/350 FO spots. The classes that started after the last AE was awarded gained the benefit of seeing the 767-400 in some drops when that hadn't happened before. Having said all that, expect your drop to tilt heavily towards 737 and 320 positions, with a smattering of 717, 220, and 757 spots. Mostly NYC with probably some other bases thrown in as well, just like the vast majority of drops have been for the past year.
