To further clarify, there are 11 MCO 737 Captains junior to 12000. 9 of them got it on a vacancy bid, 2 of them got it via the base trade. The 7 most junior Captains all got it via a vacancy bid (24-03V). So, even though the contract has changed on Base Trades, the two that got them are now not the most junior Captains in the BES.
Not much of a betting man nor am I much into predicting what Manpower Planning will do next, but I will take the wager that it will be less than one bajillion years for another Captain vacancy award
