Vacancies come when they want to grow a base. They can do that by growing the total number of pilots or through displacements. FWIW this company doesn’t like to deal with displacements, so in the recent past we’ve only seen displacements when they’re trying to bring a new base up to their operating targets in a short amount of time; and this was while we were in some sort of growth spurt. To see the whole pilot list move through vacancies we need upgrades to occur as well, obviously.
To answer your question, yes, vacancies occur during growth (and displacements can happen simultaneously though usually not in great numbers).
