They may not change it , but they definitely have been known to cancel them.

How junior do you think narrow body and wide body Captain will go on this bid?
I’d bet anyone on property holds NB CAPT, 5 years holds WB CAPT. We’ll know for sure in 2 weeks.

What are we betting?

Seriously though, maybe 3rd year NB CAPT. The last bid was probably an anomaly. 12 years until WB CAPT.

Aren’t the most junior WB Captains now 12 years on property?

Bragging rights and maybe first round at the Frog Bar.
I’m interested more as a bystander than anything else, not bidding out of my base or seat this time.

Junior WB CAPT on property is 73% company seniority, not sure how that equates to years. With limited hiring for several years until 2016 I think we’ll see the years to WB CAPT drop quickly.

It's the flying that might change, not the bid.

If there's a huge economic downturn, I'd bet the music just stops and you're in the seat you're in until it starts back up

Why are there 6 less 757s on this posting than the last one?

Guys that were hired at the end of 2015 are Just under 80% of the company so you’re right.
