I don't even know if they are allowed to do another vacancy posting with class dates that would start before the class dates from 11-09.
They can run another vacancy at any time but the people that haven't started class from the 11-09 vacancy can than change their bid preference. Only those already in class are seat locked. I wouldn't be surprised to see another vacancy around April or May. It won't be as huge though unless we get new aircraft or something.
