NB A 145XX, 86%
NB A still holding rock steady, very slightly more senior by percentage at 86.0%. So for 7 AE's straight, it's been ~86-87% for NB A. I think we can safely say the NB A line has been fairly well established until something comes along to upset that balance. The biggest news is WB A in ATL WB A at 41XX, 1000 numbers lower than anytime I'm aware of - until the Dec AE, it took a mid 2XXX to hold WB A in ATL. NYC WB A is similar to the last couple bids, but with all the recent NYC 330A awards, that well may start to run dry. We'll have to wait and see. WB B did drop down again to the mid 14,500's, but only 9 people above the plug WB B on this AE was 2000 numbers senior to that, at 72.6%, which is much more in line with most of recent history (unsuprisingly, all 9+ of them were NYC 330 B). It's still too early to really tell where that might finally settle, especially once you take out a few statisitcal outliers of a few lucky bidders. The recent 350-1000 order announcement's timeline won't see any deliveries for at least 2 years, which means that won't drive any postings for at least 20 months. However, 'existing' 330/350 deliveries in '24 might keep award levels similar to where they have been over the last few AE's.
*Note: GH did hint with the 35K announcement there would be a new 350 base commensurate with those deliveries. Still well down the road, though...
**Note 2: The bottom award for a NH with a base change was not even on the Jan Seniority List posted on 2 Jan. NH's can still expect to be able to change bases/domiciles on thier original equipment within a month, or two at the outside.
It appears Delta is serious about international expansion as WB A continues to drop below historical norms in multiple categories
