I'm willing to bet within the next couple weeks we will see that "fear biscuit" floated through someone at management.

"If we don't get people to upgrade, we will have to cancel/defer deliveries..." so please bid them...

I wouldn't bid NB CA as a Jr guy unless you can stomach reserve "as-is" for the next two years. Because that's probably what you'll be doing.

Let the company choose... give us the contract we deserve, or punt deliveries. Once you realize that those decisions are out of your control, these decisions are easy.

We fly, they manage.
