How long they do that for is unknown, but I would guess until end of 2025.
I think that is until SLI. Up until SLI you need to be in one working group or the other, hence the choice. After SLI we're one big family and you get what you get when your seat drops happen in class.

Unless we get more freighters, probably near zero. With the exception of people bidding off freight to come back to the passenger side there won't be any movement as it's pretty much fully staffed for the 10 airplanes.
