Yes I'm sure. As long as current pilots without seat locks who had bids in were awarded. In other words they have to backfill to do it, but the backfill can be new hires.
By your logic, if the company posted an AE for 20 NYC73N, and 20 pilots bid off A220 to go there, they would have to post another AE to even have any new hire vacancies.
