Any time a new hire group bids the rest of us bid too to honor seniority. You can't just place new hires without giving the rest of us the opportunity as well. Right now that means we bid every month. I wasn't here in the stagnant years. If there are no new hires or upgrades are there still regular bids? I'd have to read the contract to verify.

In your dfw example, yes I think that's how it would work.
