Doesn't make sense unless they were banking on getting some additional flying from the SKW PHX renewal.

On the FO side, with the last TDY bid, good up to four months IIRC, I don't see why they didn't just let upgrade attrition and movements via a standing bid (I know a couple people who were moving to DFW from Phx anyway to get off reserve) plus the TDY work itself out. TDY and base assist reserves to cover the delta of remaining DFW flying until attrition + new hires equalled the correct numbers for each base. I don't see the big picture though. I'm sure they have it completely under control.
