let’s be clear here.
there are currently 17 unfilled CAPTAIN positions in LAS. New hires aren’t bidding for those.
what’s happening is that all the new hires (lots) who were put on the 777 in SFO are bidding over to LAS to break their seat lock. Then once it’s awarded, they’re bidding out of LAS on the next vacancy into [whatever]. (I know you know this…I’m just reiterating for anyone who doesn’t).
I think the Captain vacancies in Vegas might get worse once the trips really start flowing. I know some people like red eyes, but…every trip?
