The bids come out around the first of every month and usually are awarded within the first week. This month they awarded a 10 person transition class. Before this July class they just awarded there hasn't been a transition since December.

Since they haven't awarded any classes since December there are very few people still seat locked. Almost anyone on the bro who wants to bid the RJ could do it right now. We have around 100 people on the list for a transition and about 30 people who have any base bid. There probably won't be a new hire RJ class until at least those 30 people with any bid get their transition.
