I read it that way, too. I think it generates an extra position, even if the pilot is awarded SEA 737, which is cool for SEA.
Sounds to me like the positions they have announced as "contingent" appear to be positions they will backfill, just to another base:
I think the winners in this AE are:
1.) ATL
2.) NYC
3.) SEA
