In earlier vacancy bids, we had a max of 280 in the category. We now have 265. Although this is just one BES slot, are there any other bases/slots where this is happening?
It’s not necessarily a shrinking, more likely the company wants to avoid secondary vacancies as they see a temporary reduction in need compared to other bases. The Min/Max bulletins shows exactly where these are focused- it looks like they’re even bolded. This happens across the board throughout vacancy season and before you know it they’ll offer 50 vacancies. Not something to get too spun up about in the short term. 15/280 is very minor.
Edit to add: look at DEN787FO; 118 down to 98. That’s fairly more significant.
