Especially if people start bailing out.
A lot of the FO’s you speak of that are already in DFW will probably take another 3-4 vacancy bids at least until they have the hours. Most of them went to DFW with 200 hours and are doing jack all flying on reserve.
I’m not trying to get your hopes up but you just never know.
