FOs unfilled is a non story. we cannot mathematically make FO number of slots go down. If there's a 777 IAH FO vacancy systemwide and nothing else, and I am a 737 IAH FO and I bid that, there is STILL one FO vacancy systemwide. except now it is 737 IAH FO.
Captains, well we definitely can affect that, but FO vacancies are literally the most non story of all time, THEY CANNOT BE FILLED PERIOD. they are there literally for newhires.
