Indeed it is. I was just highlighting the reasons I’d be shocked if there weren’t seven people who would prefer to be flying the Panda out of DTW instead of flying NBB somewhere else. My hunch is that there are probably hundreds of pilots who would have liked to make the jump if management didn’t have the industry’s most management-friendly seat locks. Same will be true if 330B goes to new hires with pilots thousands of numbers senior fenced off.

Perhaps we should rekindle the “what does it mean to be able to hold a category” debate that went on for pages a few years ago. As of next week everyone can “hold” 350B, right??? If I were a west coast 2022 hire commuting to 717, I’d probably start punching people in the mouth if I heard that misleading mantra for two years.
