Were you burned in a new hire category (ie 7ER B or lower pay)? The AE process also creates vacancies for new hires. They must have unfilled vacancies on this AE, because positions must be offered to those on property before new hires.
That being said, be wary of percentage bids in the typical new hire categories, because the number below you may take a while to fill. One safety measure is selecting the option to convert after junior into a growing categor.
Bids for all As plus Bs that pay above 7ER will be most likely be completely filled via the AE process with no vacancies left for new hires. Although not perfect, a percentage bid or number bid is still safer than bidding without a safety net.
