8 new off the show room floor, 2 BCFs from Eva, and 3 from Corgolux. So 13....for now.

i'm surprised the big bird would go that junior. Does your one payscale have anything to do with it, plus the long commute??

Put it ANYWHERE in the lower 48 and see how senior it would go then.

Yes I think so. What is the benefit of moving sideways to 400? thats the question most guys have to make and it seems many have said not much.

If they bulk out which I'm sure is what they will do, the whale will see average of 12 hour flights. Not fun for crews so I'm sure it could go Jr. fairly easily.

I am thinking it will go in the upper numbers of the seniority list. People will/would like to finish their careers in one of the latest things out there from Boeing. I am guessing, which means I will be wrong. In the new paint, the plane looks sweet!!!
