Many have already resigned over this issue.
Other than ICN, WG doesn’t fly into to its overseas bases anyway. You’ll start/end your duty with a long, middle seat economy deadhead to wherever they need you most.
Interesting…I got AMS immediately as a new hire, and yes, I am American. Have yet to ever sit in a middle seat.
