Management will argue that if they included everything in one bid they would have included extra excesses. Also, the affected crewmembers number less than 70 because of the secondary awards in the 767 bid.
Management can excess as many, or as few, people as they want.
Let's roll back the clock - How about using a 727 SO excess bid to fill vacancies in CA and FO seats? Vacancies that appeared only after a subsequent excess out of those seats exceeding the number of SO's that bid to relieve into them.
If any group of bids was ripe for grievance that was it.
