The probability of sCO (2-2-2 J) and sUA (2-4-2 J) and even sUA/Polaris 777-200s being swapped increases dramatically in October. That's when the FAs have a single contract and scheduling system. And so there is much less incentive to segregate the fleets by route, especially at the last minute, when substitutions would allow any FA to work any aircraft whereas they can't now.
