If you are using that count pilots senior to you function on the deltanet then it will drive you crazy. That just uses seniority it doesn't take in to account if the bidder had qualifiers in on the bid (i.e. only reg line holder or a certain low number for category). Not to mention how fickle pilots can be. I don't know how many bids I've pulled 15 minutes before they close. In today's environment you truly need to bid what you want and want what you bid. I've been here almost 15 years and I've never seen the amount of hiring that we are doing right now and this last bid had some major widebody FO positions on it.
