2014-7 was a big award, with a 11 NH slots on the 747 and 21 on the 767. Could take more than a month to get thru those.
That being said, 2014-7 posted after midnight on the AM of the 16th, EDT.
I find it very hard to believe that nobody retired, nobody left for a major, and all of the new hire spots were filled. Maybe it'll be posted first thing tomorrow... They're just playing games because they don't want those guys bolting to the 747 with so many 767 new hire spots that will be there for months. Remember that even when you hire someone you have to train them before they produce.
