What do you mean? The percentages don't work on MOABs?

This has been going on for at least the last 7 years. That said, a vast majority of the time I was told the night before.

Several years ago now but the last 2 times I was bought off, they made me show and the LCA made the phone call at check in. The first time I signed in via the new at that time geofenced web portal. I learned not to do that and just meet the LCA because that made a new 10 rest requirement and I missed a substantial slip request that reported later that day. Old info but I've been told it's still valid. DYODD

Im surprised the union never pushed for a past practice argument for this last minute ioe release crap. Of course my solution is to chase them down on everything and that's not always productive.

The percentage calculation or line holder estimate are based on final category size. You may be waiting a year to actually get to your qualifier. Let's use ATL 350B for example. The current size is 55 with 58 vacancies taking the category size up to 113 on this bid. You may be awarded at your qualifier, say 50% for example, but upon conversion you are at or near the plug waiting on 57 pilots junior to you to complete training. Selecting "convert after junior" will ensure the bottom of the category is in place prior to your arrival. This is my preferred technique when bidding for an expanding category that doesn't have many people junior to me there already.

Any guesses on 7ER A lineholder seniority in NYC or ATL when the dust settles?

ER in NYC I would guess 7000-8500 for the plug.

Seems like a reasonable range. I suspect the lineholder cutoff would be about 1500 above the plug.

Bold move, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for ‘em.

If you can dodge a wrench...

While junior reserve on the 220/320/73N sounds miserable, I think it wouldnt be so bad on the 7ER category. Plus you're flying a 757 most of the time and maybe an Intl trip here and there

True dat. And PS to work, but early reports on the east coast suck for the rest of the country.
