Monday should be interesting for sure (and in no way representative of the final award).
Remember too that going 777-787 or vice versa carries a bid freeze. If your number comes up for captain during that freeze, you’ll be locked out from bidding it during said freeze (if that matters to you).
There have been several SFO777FO vacancies in recent bids. Not huge, but small to middle numbers of vacancies. That should help drive this 60 vacancy bid lower in seniority.
18-05V had 3 vacancies and jr man was 7340
18-04V had 12 vacancies and jr man was 7475
18-03V had 4 vacancies and jr man was 6066
18-01V2 had 23 vacancies and jr man was 8233
I could see some awards in the 12,000 seniority, especially since these vacancies are 'competing' with the LAX787FO and NB CA vacancies. And let's not forget that the LAX777 pilots probably won't bid (small number) and there will be others waiting for EWR787 vacancies.
