Not sure if they will land in BNA, but in order to grow it to that size, they are going to have to shrink surrounding bases accordingly.
That being said, I put a contingency bid in there to get the move. Plenty of places that meet the move criteria are great places to relocate to.
First off new hires will be entering the vancancy for the next several months.
Secondly there are 245 FO bidders, and 114 new hires for the May vacancy. They are bidding for 200ish positions. Please explain how there will be displacements?
They company is accelerating the growth specifically to avoid the cost of displacing pilots.
