As for Phoenix, I thought Standing Bid indicated one permanent spot would open there. Additionally, 11 FO's left Phoenix for other domiciles. So, wouldn't they need 12 people to move there? Only one guy was assigned it... What am I missing?
It shrank. Don't think of standing bids as "permanent positions". As for IAD, the line structure changes a bit every month. That's why they always have people on tdy.
