Please show me where the company "always said there was going to be 180 vacancies" on this bid. The only place I ever heard (not read) is from other pilots in the crewrooms or the flight deck. Many times I heard other pilots say, "well the latest I heard in the training center was around 180 positions." Everyone knows how unreliable 98% of the information is that comes out of the training center in IAH. Never once have I seen or heard a company person give a number. We all know why: because Marketing (and In-Flight) runs this company, not Flight Operations. Talking with union people the only thing they have said was that we "expect" this bid will show enough vacancies to recall our furloughed pilots and maybe do a little hiring.
