Yeah and it’s definitely not a strategy, per se, and you’d just be giving up seniority by not going sooner, assuming one doesn’t want to be at B6. I’m just saying some dudes seem to think it’s either you go to the big 3
right now, or there’s 0 options left down the road if B6 goes away, but that’s not really accurate.
