So 132 positions on this AE are "contingent". This seems to be a new technique that I haven't seen before. Has anyone else seen a "contingent" bid before?

I'm assuming that the issue is the training pipeline. I.e., have a DTW-777A bid ATL-777A to "right size" the base. If they don't bid out of DTW, we'll just deadhead them...but we really don't want more training events. Am I reading this right?

It seems training has finally become an issue. If the company truly wanted to "right-size" each base then they'd simply displace as they've done in the past.
