FWIW, at this point manpower planning knows exactly how many unfilled vacancies will exist. The max/min numbers have been established to prevent any undesired backfills during this run. Thus, this bid has been sized to create the exact number of openings desired.

What "they" are doing, however, is waiting to announce class dates (and sizes) on a month-to-month basis when they have a better grasp of exact training availability. The class dates must effectively be offered to furloughed pilots first and that drives the timing.

If past months are any indication, we should be hearing about June dates shortly.
