Wasn’t it a year or two ago that DCA wasn’t supposed to get any new CAs according to the vacancy and ended up with like 25 super junior 737 CAs out of nowhere on the award?
The only thing I’m hoping to read from these tea leaves is some solid movement at all levels with WB advertised to open up more outside of just LGA as we had been seeing — more senior people taking the bait opening up more downstream.

Absolutely a crapshoot. The vacancy tells very little (although I think they are penalized for overshooting so that's why they always low-ball).
We have 20-30 more 737s on property but the total CA numbers expected on the airframe are basically the same as a year ago. The more you try to analyze it, the more you realize it's smoke and mirrors.

Not baffling at all. Senior bubbas want in to get the AE qual, then get bought off and double dip.

Theoretically, maybe. But like the number 1 guy is happy doing and transcons, and believed (based on zero information), that he would still get to do them, with an occasional trip to europe. Probably wrong there… Another was surprised by the “shortness” of the layover in EDI. Apparently they didnt bother to look at other fleet’s trip construction…
