Darn. Moved backwards one spot. Just when u get your hopes up for some advancement reality hits again. Even with a bunch of 7er slots avail still sliding backwards on the 73. Otoh it looks like furlough bypass recalls bidding into cat from their assigned base... so if they had been able to just participate in an ae when recalled (like they should have been able to in a smart world) they would have been there a month ago anyways.
So.... I guess I could look at it as I got an extra month before sliding backwards--sweet!

But really, not sliding backwards would be so awesome someday!
