Looks like I was wrong, sorry.

Thanks for clearing that up. I completely missed that one.

The start of SEA service could affect "onward" flying to India and SE Asia. Right now we send an A330 from SEA to AMS and at the end of this month a 7ER from SEA to CDG. Some of those pax connect in AMS/CDG and fly onward to India (on Delta from AMS). Emirates now gives them a second direct choice via Dubai.

Quick vacation bidding question, I'm new to holding a line, we don't get trip touching drops on our vacations correct? PBS will not assign you a trip that would interfere with vacation is the way I understand it. Is that correct?

Correct on both counts. But PBS will give you a late arrival home the day before and an early sign in the day after if you are not careful.

Being junior, I'm all for pay banding now. I'll start complaining about it maybe 10 years from now.

I'm with FTB...band 747/777/M89!
