Last mock was even a larger jump down to 11.2 which didn’t make it through the final.

Then you look at A’s they have retiring it’s a high number in that base. I wouldn’t be so sure that bid patterns remain the same as they did with the senior guys there. Seattle has seen a major shift from what it was 10-20 years ago.

then let’s look at what the 330 fleet size by 2030. A huge wildcard here if there’s an order and accelerated movement away from ER’s by 2030 internationally. If SLC opens, changes everything too. Could be good for a base like SEA.

do I think it’s going to be some dramatic movement junior? No. But I think to say it will be 12 years and bottom list will be 9-11’s even over the next decade…I’m not buying that either. That’s way to far out to speculate where seniority numbers or WBB lie.
