Also keep in mind the average new hire will prob shuffle through 2+ FO standing bid cycles before finishing IOE and becoming bid-eligible (as long as we're still hiring/upgrading/moving flying around).

There were some gomers a few classes back who quit b/c they didn't seem to understand that their first award wasn't a permanent thing for the rest of their careers, and that they would likely bid out of Hawaii/Dulles prior to completing training, or so I've heard.
