Current unfilled vacancies are offered to new hires for the next few months. Also unfilled vacancies from previous bids may still be active. Its possible a line pilot would decide after an award that they want something (DCA 756 FO) but then they don’t have any unfilled vacancies, even though they are giving those to new hires because of previous unfilleds.
