Far too early to say, as mentioned above we don't see the full weight of Postal until October 1st. Then we get into the four-week November bid which is followed by Peak, so we really won't have a normalized idea until the bids for February-March come out.

Postal has and will result in much more 2nd Day Air flying (some of which is "pure day", some of which has been integrated into additional morning & afternoon turn trips) but bottom line without rose-colored lenses is one will fly nights here, regardless. Amount of day flying one will see at a given juniority will depend entirely on their bidding considerations for a commute.

how long is seat lock too?
18 month newhire transition freeze between equipment; can change domiciles on same airplane (ie. ONT 757 to SDFZ 757, ANC 747 to SDF 747) during that transition freeze.
