For instance, DEN 737 FO is 172 min/172 max. DEN 320 FO is 132 min/162 max. 7 guppy guys bid out, 7 come in on snapshot. 6 bus guys bid out, company can choose to do nothing or backfill 1-6 guys. So they'll wait to see how everything else shakes out before adjusting the new min/max and releasing the unfilled for new hires.
