I just checked actual staffing in June and September from the staffing report. As of June we have 266 SFO 737 CA. In September we will have 275. Most of the other bases have the same thing going on. A constant growing influx of MORE NBCA. This is because we are still flowing in NBCA from previous bids. Also remember we have a ton of New Hire CA that are at TK that have finished their first year and they are still flowing into the left seat adding to the number throughout the summer.

The MIN isn't "STAFFING". Its been explained numerous times. If you're ONLY looking at the MIN numbers on consecutive vacancy bids its not a real number.
