That doesn't include people who took long term leaves.... the 5 was just resignations or retirements. The LTOA's keep their seniority while out. Do a 3U/Base/Seat/Equip/D to see how many are qualified to bid in your base.
Word has it BOS has 10 less this month than last month for the FO's... That's one base only... so it looks like more people are taking the LTOA's than resigning. The FO's are still overstaffed in most bases and since they awarded several part time lines for October in several bases... I'd expect more LTOA's will likely be offered. The first of the base transfers takes place November too as I recall.
