only way this doesn’t happen is the new paybanding making it senior or seat locks coming off. But it is NYC so wouldn’t surprise me if it’s still left with unbid positions
It’ll be interesting to see how many folks have FOMO over not having a widebody spot currently. I know a few guys now who are going to basically bid every 330/350 position to make sure they get one before it goes super senior. My prediction is not only will NYC330 go senior, I think it’ll be like 12,000 number and lower (as in more senior). I may be wrong but all the other 330 bases will be crazy senior so I see NYC following suit. In other words, new hires will be back to the NB only bids moving forward. I just see too many FOMO pilots who are anxious to try the 330 after their seat lock release. I bet it’ll go back to 4-5 years to hold the 330 like it was a few years ago.
