In the big picture, it's far from a wash. Contractually, during a
realignment bid the number of new vacancies must equal the number of positions being realigned. I think this is what you're looking at. However, if you look at the
displacement bid, it shows net loss of 45 Capts in the lower 48. So gain of 20 and loss of 45 = -25 system wide.
This is the not the only number we should be worried about, as I described above.
