Gonna have to be a lot more movement out of the NYC category to compete with the DTW category.
There are always more positions filled than what is posted, especially on an epic bid like this. There will be a lot of extra “contingent vacancies” from the cascade of senior openings as people move up/on. As in, a
LOT. There will probably be positions filled on nearly every single position across every base, despite a lack of posted vacancies. (For example, there are 0 ATL320B posted, there will be 30-40 awarded, I’ll bet)
I cannot overemphasize enough to
bid what you want, regardless of the AE Memo. Not only will you
not get what you
don’t ask for, someone else probably will.
it’s going to be a helluva ride. Mother of all MOAB’s. I suspect the biggest bid any of us will ever see. 1000 A’s, 800 new captains projected. The math is undeniable.
