Reserve rule improvements will make it more lucrative for the line holders with PPU opportunities.

that said, a TON of the junior bidders were pretty obviously bidding it to get out of their wide body New hire commitment (777 SFO, for example). I have no idea what future bids will be like. I think a lot of people are waiting to see the actual trips that come out of Orlando and Vegas.

Forgive my lack of recollection as to which thread it was on but I believe someone had said that it's possible to have a QOL that's as good if not better than the LCC's if you learn to work the system at UAL. By "QOL" I'm strictly referring to schedule flexibility and ability to rearrange or get rid of trips. For example, say I'm a line holder on 737 IAH base and have a family event on a given weekend. I was awarded a 3-day starting Friday and would really like to get that specific Saturday off. I've read about things like criteria trades and "bad day/worse day" but I don't quite understand how it works. Obviously everything improves with seniority, I'm just trying to get an idea of what life on the line looks like in the earlier stages. Thanks all!

I’d also expect to see PHX, SEA, MIA/FLL, BOS bases in the next 2 years as well. BOS is even likely to be an Airbus base as Kirby wants to take over a bunch of BOS-EUR flying with the 321 XLRs.
