exactly. I was a 05 number and ended up with 4 others with numbers <05. So I got my equipment I wanted.

Totally random, depends on the preferences of those around you. In my class the bottom 4 got the ER, the next one it was the 717

NWA went from the APE (advanced preference entitlment) to APA (advanced position award). You entered a bid on your contingent preference listing (CPL) which after the deadline becameyour effective preferece listing (EPL). And this doesnt include the bidding for TDY.

So that's why the merger happened. A meeting of the minds regarding ridiculous acronyms (RRA).

Anybody have any strategy/tips/advice on aircraft drop for someone NYC local? Zero preference on 73N, A320, or 7ER. Not typed in any of them, just want best QOL, $ opportunites, etc. Within 90 minutes from all three airports.

Do you have a preference of a specific airport? 7ER is only out of JFK except for a few charter trips out of EWR. 73N is also almost exclusivley JFK, some LGA trips but not a lot. 320 will get you a better mix of the 3 airports.
