just my 2c on top of what was told to ys.


To the discussion about people moving to WB’s, don’t forget the 330/350 growth in next 18-24 months. It’s pretty decent. On top of retirements in WB A category. There is still going to be a lot of openings for people to bid to and not every senior NB B is chasing the pay scale carrot. QOL triumphs that. Think this forum puts too much energy into every pilot on the next AE bids the same way I do…
If anything, it makes sense to do the big bid right before locks pop, then a smaller one or two, to “gain” some extra time on locks that just went up.
