It suggests that they are overstaffed on reserves which is in line with what the DCA Chief Pilot said yesterday in ground school about CA staffing in general...
Obviously I wish there would be more movement...
I just looked at this vacancy myself. It will result in 24 new captains, not just 4, if that's how you were interperting it. The 4 new reserves are in addition to the 20 captains to replace the ones getting off reserve. The only way it would result in less than 24 upgrades, is if there was backfill associated with the vacancy.
