I'm confused you said you've been here a year but can't hold any ER except NYC which isn't true according to this AE and the last even.

Its a great category to be senior, or even middle of the road, on. But not a very good category to be junior on by comparison.

Very true about the variety of schedules based on seniority.

My point was just that as of the January category list published the only place with guys junior to me on the ER is NYC. I knew from memory that some transferred down to ATL but I forgot (and was too lazy to look up) that there were also other bases on the Dec AE that I would be able to hold. My bad.
