By my math we have just over 300 that (will have) left by the end of this year, we have about 200 more waiting to go with about 75 still able to request a second try, but that must be done this month and the interview will be done 1Q next year. We should have a final total of SSP jobs by April, and it won't be close to 700. Even if you add in all the "off the street" managers and military that they have grabbed it still doesn't come close to 700.
I saw a number fairly recently (month or two ago?) in the mid 600's that supposedly came from the EDV management side of things. I padded it by a couple months and rounded to 700. I'm not claiming that 700 is some magic number and because it was defiantly hit then it means something more profound than if it wasn't.
FWIW the same info said that only around 70 have moved on to other places in the same time frame. If those figures are even close to being true, even as rough estimates, it still illustrates the same points made.
