Sorry, I read that wrong. 302 sounds right. So they are covering some future positions. If 170 Wide body A’s have retired this year, and they’ve posted 302 positions this year, they are adding positions for next summer. Man it doesn’t feel like it but I guess I’ve just been expecting more movement at the top.

Just for clarity, so did I. I went back to each AE as published and counted awarded WB A's manually, excluding the bypasses, in the 5 2019 AEs.
The vast majority were off the March MOAB, so that would make sense - they were awarding to fill predicted vacancies as advertised through Summer 2020. If they do a large WB A bid as predicted in January(ish), that may indicate the growth Sailing/BS/others have talked about and/or faster attrition than anticipated. Cautious optimism. Very cautious...
FYI to all, Curly's site has some pretty good analytics about the bids, to include how many have gone from which seat to another seat, and the % off each bid that has been converted (for which the March MOAB is still only 72% converted...)
