That's 42 open CA slots in ONE bid period. 24 of those displacements from MSP. Wow.
The scary part is there is zero new first officers according to that notice.

Edit: If the company was smart they would run mass upgrades while right seat qualifying. This would stack the Captain reserve list with pilots that can sit in either seat. It gives them an abundance of pilots with only 11 (12) days off a month and has the added bonus of lowing upgrade and first officer reserve times. Having been at a place that used this very effectively I'm surprised this isn't the strategy.

Movement is only as crazy as the new hires filling classes. No new hires means upgrades will slow. Very surprised to see 18 but also very happy about it

Willing to bet it goes super senior, I've heard talk of a lot of MSP CA's and senior SEA CA's who are MSP commuters going...

I have a feeling we'll start seeing fairly full classes this fall

Where is that at on the notice? I'm seeing displcaced First Officers going from MSP to PHX.

Upon second look it appears even the notice is even incorrect because it shows a displacement of 12 from MSP with 15 proposed for PHX. That would be a net gain of 3. Meanwhile the "Important Details" says its to fill "an expected zero (0) FO vacancies". I guess even planing doesn't know what we have.

Yeah, it's like on the CA side, there's actually 42 vacancies across all bases but only 18 upgrades due to the displacements. There's 12 FOs that are being displaced (the last 12 from MSP) which will leave a net gain of 3 - and that will spread between current LAX and SEA FOs submitting their bids for the new base. Yeah, they use the same template every month and sometimes forget to fill in certain numbers.

I believe most are given about 2 weeks in between DOH and first day of class to complete online CBTs. Then the training footprint from day 1 of class to end of IOE is around 90 days total.
