The 320 bid pack going to garbage was part of why I bailed off NYC 320A as soon as my seat lock was up. I was getting worse trips at 70% in 2024 than I was at 96% in 2022.

At the time I took a 20% seniority hit, but now I'm actually at 67 vs 73%

The optimizer definitely seems to hammer some categories worse than others. 320 used to have a lot of "transcon or almost so" followed by JFK-BOS/DCA/BWI
