WBB might go ore senior than it is right now (spots in NH class don't get more junior than that) but there is so much growth churn and movement that everything will always be junior by any historical reference.

And they'll still be some angst when we can't bid everything every 15 minutes

Correct, and if the results don’t come out the next day there will be meltdowns.

I really hope they consider a florida base in the future.
Would be easy to commute from MCO if they open miami, or better yet MCO.

But I'm not holding my breath, one of the reason I'm skeptical about making a move to DL.

We have flight attendant bases in MCO and FLL/MIA. If we ever open a FL base again it seems like a base at any of these places would be the most sensical. Probably a factor management considered when talking about Boston too.

I’ve been messing around with routes this Summer/Fall and it looks like there’s a lot more 350 Europe flying than I thought. I’d say there is even more variety on the 350 out of Atlanta than the 330. Not saying that it won’t change, but it may be worth checking out for those who are bidding a WB next month.

I fell under the trap that the 330 is all Europe / South America and the 350 is all Asia but that’s simply not true at all. That’s good news for those wanting variety but doesn’t want the 7ER!

I hope they do too. But if they won’t even commit to making BOS a base I don’t have hope they will be opening any more bases in the near future.

Lots of LAX 6-9 day trips that go to ATL or MSP and fly out of there on the 350 for June also.

Don't bid the 350 thinking that will stay that way. At the DTW base meeting last week, they said as soon as Asia travel starts up again, the 350 will go back there and the 330 will go back to the Atlantic. What we're seeing now is not normal - direct words from the network people.

Isnt Asia fully open? I know we are doing PVG nonstops again already so that only leaves Daxing (Beijing) I believe!
