Well as long as we all pick up open time and accept JA's, the herpes will be stuck in their seats (once the 747 displacements are through). By making us appear fat, the company won't need to add any additional original vacancies that the over 60 crowd will inevitably take, and us junior folks will no longer continue to be pushed back. Then in 3 or 4 years when all of the herpes are where they should be we can start moving again (in the right direction).
