Why is the company allowed to put a -1 on some categories, but not all of them? For example, IND767 and EUR757 are protected. People have displaced into those categories, but nobody was excessed from those categories.

As PC said, this is an excess bid, not a vacancy bid. So why are they by default filling vacancies?
All 767 & 757 seats are available for the excess. IND 767 FO will go pretty junior too. It's the fleets they want to grow, so yes they kinda are filling un-declared vacancies

My guess is they r hoping to minimize the need for a vacancy bid (besides HKG) by funneling excessed guys into the seats that would've had a vacancy
