There are 35 unfilled CA slots on the snapshot (out of 620 unfilled total)

Its only going to get worse. According to the latest crew resources update just for coastal hubs (EWR, DCA, LAX, SFO) they are planning 500 more Captain bids just on the 737 to staff next summer flying because of about 70 more MAX deliveries by the spring. This doesn’t include the people that will leave the coasts because they can hold ORD, DEN and IAH 737 CA.

Also you have 300+ WB vacancies they will need to fill (not including retirements) this is 800 more. These are going to go unfilled all day long. They are gong to have to remove the 500 hour requirement and put new hires in the left seat to fill them.

2023 is going to be an interesting year from a staffing perspective.
