To each their own. Thank goodness we have a little of everything here but I really am shocked to see these 350Bs go unbid if that’s actually what happened.
It is the seat locks. Really disheartening but that's the way of the road I guess

When I got hired they called out names, all the names he called out (the vast majority of us) went into a separate room together where they told us that we had got hired. The 3-4 who didn't were outside and could hear us all celebrating. Then they called them into rooms one at a time to tell them they didn't get the job. I felt horrible for those guys.

as someone in the bottom 2k and with a bid in for any 350B base and being seat locked this is very frustrating. But it is what it is!

I’m in the same boat! I’m near 11,500 seniority and am seat locked for a few more months. I was one of those who bid it but couldn’t get it awarded. Can’t complain tho! I like the idea of junior folks below me. Anyone have a guess on how many new hires will get the 350?

I’m high 12’s so didn’t expect anything out of the AE. Know I’m locked for another 1.5 years. Good way to look at it but there may not be any 350 slots available when you or I are lock free.

32 out (30 to ATL, 1 to Lax, one to MSP), 25 backfills so id guess 7?
