There were 175 eligible bidders on the Captain side for December. That resulted in 168 lines and 7 reserves.

Of those 7 reserves. 2 are there because of bid errors. 3 are there because they ultimately preferred reserve over a line in order to get Christmas.

For the FO's, there were 163 eligible bidders with 156 getting lines and 7 getting reserve.

Of those 7 reserves. 3 got reserve because of upgrade training. 2 got reserve cuz of bid errors. 2 got it because their bid ultimately led down that path to get required days off.
