Ya, I agree Wyopoke, but with one exception.
Up until now, we really had no evidence that the terminal panel was separate from the en-route panel.
If the panel was for both enroute and terminal at the same time, then by selecting both and putting comments, they would have been in a position of advantage and would have had the chance to get selected by terminal if their first choice (enroute) was already full.
However, with the new information that the panels are separate, your assessment may be correct, and they may get picked for a terminal spot that they really don't want, thereby taking a terminal position from someone who wanted it and would've gotten it otherwise.
Hindsight is 20/20...
Yet another reason why it would be nice for this process to not be so secretive.... As applicants, we might be able to create less work for the hiring folks, instead of more...
