Most carriers have gotten rid of them. Some people LOVE them (especially the FAs) Great for watching kids during day / shortening life span, etc.

We had ABQ CDOs for a while, and they went VERY senior...

Yes we can maximize vacation. The days of vacation vs credit hours vacation cuts both ways though. If you're VERY junior you could end up having the majority of your vacation fall on days scheduled off already - we bid pre-built lines, not PBS. For the vast majority, the day system works great and respects seniority absolutely. If you're #1 you can bid a line where a 7 day vacation period touches two 26hr 5 day trips, and have them both dropped/paid. If you're on reserve you get paid 4hrs per day of reserve your vacation covers.
We can slide vacation, but it get complicated quickly. Half the pilots here don't understand it ;-)

Despite continued claims of DEN being shrunk, 3 CA left DEN and they allowed 1 backfill into DEN for a shrinkage of 2. Not sure why they'd allow 1 back into DEN when their stated goal is to shrink.

Company must not be ready for as many CAs to leave as they thought?

This seems more like a way to let a guy back who was misawarded due to some kind of mistake or Flica glitch to me; but I'm only guessing.
Just to keep myself grounded in reality, and avoid false hope, I'm personally not going to interpret this as the company reconsidering their plans to reduce Denver.

Thorough and helpful write ups by the way Driver! Thank you for taking the time with such detail.
Just realized my posts may have a little argumentative ring to them. Not intentional. Just trying to further the discussion with some thoughts.
