The rumor of a vacancy bid is correct according to CT and the women who's head of crew something or other. I asked while they were in our lounge the other day. As for when, they said soon but no set date as their trying to see where they want the vacancies. It's suppose to be "small with few upgrades but nothing like we saw on last vacancy."
Take it for what it's worth and don't get excited as is everything at this company, it's not worth jumping up and down for.
