This first one is for MCO 190, the next 2 (whenever that happens) will be JFK 190 and BOS 190. The only good thing with those last 2 will be the fact that those are 2 junior bases/equipment. Although, we still do have senior peeps on that fleet, just not as much as MCO 190 and they will more likely want to stay in those bases and very little people from other bases will want to go to JFK or BOS. Whoever is senior in JFK 190 and BOS 190 more than likely wants to stay in that base (of course this is pre-NK bases, but it will probably all shuffle out before we even have a SLI)
Good info, displacements aside how often have they run periodic supplemental bids historically?
