It will be interesting on the final tomorrow to see how much the company utilizes the extra awards that 8-C-4-a allows. On the final snapshot there were 4 CLE 737 CA , 7 DEN 737 CA, 26 IAH 737 CA, and 8 ORD 737 CA awards that were taking a lateral into the respective domicile, so the company could award that many more slots in those locations that actually require training.

We could see some extra impressive numbers in those Bases if the company wants to try and compensate for those unfilled Captain slots immediately!
