Well I was kind of excited and feeling good about this AE until I read this:

"Our projection is at least 50 SEA crews (50 Captains and 50 F/Os) by the end of 2015. There are 15 SEA-73N Captain and 15 SEA-73N First Officer positions contingent on CVG and SLC pilots bidding out."

Hmm... That tells me that possibly 15% reduction in SLC staffing to fund SEA... what a bummer. That would wipe out ALL the gains I was predicted to make in SLC for the next couple years, plus the single guy I've moved up in the last 3 years. Shrinking the SLC cat will make my bidding power effectively decrease significantly. How this is all reconciled with the 35 posted and unfilled SLC 73NB positions for "new guys" I don't know... I suspect it shows that the projected "growth" in SLC was totally illusory and doesn't exist, as they are NOW trying to shrink SLC (and/or CVG, looks like they don't care which) by up to 15%.

Every time some advancement or good seniority news happens, I only have to wait a month or two to get slapped in the face again with more backwards sliding. We'll see what happens on this AE, but the Network desire to shrink SLC 73 by up to 15 guys (15%) doesn't bode well.
