Yes. It doesn't work this way. I asked one of the scheduling people why they put that there and its for internal planning. Its not how many pilots are covered on THAT BID.

Remember those retirement timeframes are sometimes 6 months, so every month the same pilots keep showing up. So its possible they were already covered on a previous bid, or because of training/overstaffing they wait until a later bid.

It doesn't mean that those pilots are being replaced with this vacancy.

The last 4 bids have 371 "retirements thru xx/xx" and there is no way we have 371 retirements in 6 months. 3 of them show the exact same retirement numbers because they are all in the same quarter. So they are just showing the same retirements as they showed on the last bid.

They aren't cumulative.

Only the MIN/MAX apply for that bid.
