But you could also look at a WB B category, or junior A category, both with plenty of bidders, and see them not backfill slots which would NOT generate unfilled vacancies for newhires.
For example, I don't know if the projected headcount for the NYC M88 A changed, but I assume a few went out, and noone came in.
Pretty confusing, at least to me.
Yeah I thought it was strange with the 14 out and 14 in thing, the cutoff being so high for the final awarded slot, and 12 guys bidding the MSP DC-9 over the Maddog if there were slots (maybe they didn't want to be seatlocked so they could bid the bus later who knows) but it could just be that with all the Airbus slots open there just wasn't any more love for the old Maddog.
You and Super are probably right.
Trying to figure out what happens next used to be something I enjoyed, but now it just gives me a big headache
