Taking into account the unfilled slots - ORD320 CA vs FO numbers are 269 CA and 334 FO....EWR737 is 594 CA and 483 FO....DEN737 is 558 CA and 380 FO...what's with the unbalanced numbers?
I believe Denver is like that because of the amount of pilots on a Delayed activation. In many cases they are double counted (currently FO in Denver until 12 months on property then going to captain but bid and held it sometime in the last 12 months since UPA 23 was voted in and the company first started to use some the provisions on vacancy bid starting last October or November). That just my guess
