Think you mean SEA 350. BOS opened in Oct of last year. It’s pretty much reached stasis, having a mere 6/10 A/B vacancies in June, and 5/10 in July.
SEA, on the other hand, opened in June with 60/60. That did create some movement that month, BUT… May had seen the same widespread base movement down to the VERY bottom of the list on the 73 and 220. (June/July on the 73/220/320).
There is almost always
something happening to create some opportunity. The point remains that NH’s can reasonably expect to be able to change bases very quickly, if not immediately. And that’s if we only hire for attrition. If we do hire above attrition (which I see strong evidence to support as very likely), that will be even more true. Once again, only 34 2025 NH’s didn’t see an AE with a chance to move.
