HKG is not full until the company decides it's full. The contract section that denies excesses to HKG just says that an award will not be given if it would cause an excess. It does not say 'already in excess status', nor does it define what constitutes an excess. My bet is that it will after the next cba(amon other things), but that doesn't help us here. PC purposely left it muddy in the FCIF by saying that they will award HKG on 09-02 at least to the extent of the number of vacancies on 09-01. I'm sure they won't make the practice bids too instructive in this respect either. Also 31Hz, I don't see why they couldn't do as you described above. In the end, I think the ambiguity they've created will likely yield them a lower number of bidders for HKG that they will ultimately deem manageable to send over there, but we'll see.
