Pondering the purpose of Posting 9-01
Here are some thoughts on Posting 9-01. Someone may have aready posted this scenario.
An excessed pilot will be denied an award to an FDA if it creates an excess at that FDA. In other words, if the FDA is full, an excessed pilot can't go there.
Technically, HKG is not full while Posting 9-01 is open. So, none of the captain awards should be denied.
After the final excess bid they declare an excess in HKG for the captains seat and excess all but the original 49 slots plus 20.
Then they cancel Posting 9-01 before it closes.
No passover pay but the junior HKG captains lose their seat.
