Even in 756, 777 and 787 elsewhere the notion that "you can't get a flying trip" is a misnomer. Majority of lines are half and half on the very bottom end. Go look, I'm not making it up. It's not just about how junior it is in EWR, we can ignore that. I'm saying the notion that bottom lineholders can't hold flying seat is just not True.
