Either needs to be a nonstarter.

Agree, non-starter. Hard no, period.

I can tell you from experience.....It isn't the UAL pilot.

Actually it’s not correct. It’s time of checkin. Both have an equal shot.
Edit: Or is supposed to be TOC. Everyone not AA or WO is D6 and is decide by TOC. Now if listed as non-rev, that’s a whole separate deal.

I think we haven’t seen a NSNB order because we’re in negotiations. IF the contract is in fact early by JAN 2019 I think we will see a NSNB shortly after and these 175s will show up with 76 seats.

"Regional" pilots would prefer to be on a career mainline seniority list, as opposed to earning a few extra bucks at a regional stuck on a non-career seniority list.
