After the most recent vacancy bid it shows 143 Captains and 135 FOs.

In the last year it has shrunk by about 10 Captains and 10 FOs. This also happened at several other bases as we were way ahead on 737 staffing and then the deliveries stopped with the Boeing debacle. So, at some of the pilots that bid out of the base were not replaced. That seems to be over as anybody that bid out recently was replaced.


I don't think there is any plan to actually shrink any of the bases as we are finally getting 737s at a faster pace again, so while I don't think it will grow significantly, I also don't think it will shrink. With all the 737s coming I see the most likely outcome as a small amount of growth.
