So, I imagine when older pilots support age 67, you would call them greedy because their extra 2 years of, "work less make more" good fortune, would come at your expense....therefore they are GREEDY.
But when you want to work less and make more on the backs of the traveling public & the company....that is righteous?
I don't look gift horses in the mouth, by the same token, I don't actively wish for/root for ill will/hardships on others, so that I can reap unexpected windfalls. But, you do you

Whereas the original intent of his post meant to maximize the pay:work ratio using status quo provisions (and no new parties are harmed nor helped).

a 10% reduction (now 4%) over a random non holiday weekend in November won’t even be a blip on our long term radar. Crowd strike was an epic week long meltdown that started on one of the busiest travel days of the year, and we still made $5B last year.
no way this shutdown lasts another month let alone a year. I can’t even see it lasting through the weekend before thanksgiving. ATC just got their second $0.00 paycheck and I’m expecting this weekend to absolutely fall apart. Most Americans tolerance for an ideological crusade will vanish once they realize it might ruin their holiday plans. Hopefully the senate gets their head out of their @$$ and pays our ATC and TSA.

Running the fed gov on CRs is bad policy. We need a budget.
Now on topic yeah the mid looks like some FOMO perhaps coming in the actual award.

Yeah, 96 NB A's and 39 W A's is not nothing, especially if they actually backfill (despite the statement about base-swap only backfill). Given the drought in NB A's over the last 9 months, I suspect NB A will be solidly in the 70's%. WB A will be in line at 21-22%, or thereabouts. The fact that the positions are spread out amongst so many different BES will keep surprises to a minimum.
As expected, the Dec AE will be rather large by any comparison, especially on the NB B side for NH spots. That will be the one to watch, IMO.

WB A 395X 22.9% (NYC 765, barely. SEA 330 very close)
WB B 126XX 73.3% (BOS 330 - big cluster in the 12's)
NB A 124XX 71.9% (SEA 220 - also a big cluster in the 12's)
Really, the only thing that went more senior was NB A. But I think everyone expected that to some degree. But if those %'s hold, it will be the first time in forever that NBA went senior to WB B, even though WB B is well within it's trending margin. Definitely an anomoly for NB A given the long drought.
Will be interesting to see if the general trend holds where the final is slightly senior to the mid bid.
