Well I think if we went as the OP suggested, we would get Higher 777 and MD-11 rates......at a minimum....this might be something to be looked at for 2028 if we want to look more like other carriers and there would be sufficient notice for those that want to bid accordingly with early openers.....

Of course, those would go senior and others would say it's just the "old guys" screwing the "new guys"......I say this not to be snarky, but the seniority system is always a two edge sword.....there comes a point where it stops working against you and starts working for you....and eventually I think all of us wants to be senior at some point. Not sure any of us came to this job with the goal of being egalitarians
