The 777 is a perfect example. 25 ATL CA positions. 10 747 displacements. 10 positions dependent upon 10 DTW 777 CA bidding to ATL, otherwise the positions don't exist. That leaves 5 new slots.

Sorry to be Debby Downer. But, this scenario repeats itself across all of the categories. Even the 73N in SEA is dependent upon SLC and CVG bidding into it.

I'm a little disappointed. But, I'm married and I'm used to it.

These contingent bids are a new way to show us what they are doing. So if a SLC 73N A guy bids NYC 330A do they consider that a contingent guy that bid out or does he have to bid SEA 73NA to count as one of the contingent bids?
