If the category has 100 pilots and the company needs 100 in the position, and 20 bid out, those backfills are eligible for new hires as long as everyone else on the seniority list who had a bid in was awarded a position. They don’t have to actually post positions as a part of an AE in order for spots to go to new hires.
