I did the math (source, the list of individual retirements from crew resources), between now and end of the conversion period, there are more WB retirements than posted vacancies. That aside, we are not parking widebody aircraft....shouldn’t the postings be keeping up with retirements.....as well as adding staffing for deliveries?
Ps...I’m only looking at A positions.

The person you are responding to is a future new hire waiting on a class date, so they are likely looking at what to do when they get the drop option.

Do they have to offer bypasses? At some point it seems like they would save more money calling people's bluff and say 100% of awards will train, go for it cowboy. Bypasses beget bypasses; the more that get them, the more that ask for them. Likewise if they shut it down, I think VERY few pilots would bid a higher hourly rate only paying category (training, loss of relative seniority and perhaps a commute) just for a couple years difference in hourly rates, usually all of which can be made up for in one's current category with their existing relative seniority in the first place.

Should have explained that but yes got the CJO yesterday and just looking at what's the best for a top option to get me to SLC. Sounds like 320/220 are both safe bets. Thanks!

I think 220 might be a bit quicker, but they should both get you there. 737 I would think would end up pretty close to 320 in time to hold SLC. More importantly though, congratulations!
