If memory serves we have had a vacancy bid EVERY month for the past several years with only 1 or 2 exceptions. A complete stop to vacancy bids would mean no hiring for years (unlikely) with ongoing retirements as well as the inevitable grievance as a complete stop would likely violate the status quo.
