No I can’t we only have a bid once a year and they are retiring airplanes so a bid isn’t even a real bid. They call it a realignment bid so you can only bid to a new fleet if you have been displaced off of your fleet or your base is closing. Furthermore once you do get an award it generally takes years to actually go to training on the new fleet. They are still training from the 2021 bid right now. Most of the FO’s quitting are junior 75 pilots so 75 FO is actually properly staffed right now and a few months ago semi understaffed so we are locked in the seat essentially until all the fleet retirements happen.
