I do think the COVID shakeup might cause some 14-17 hires to put in their CA bid instead of bypassing, but that is just a hunch

Unless those pilots are very senior or just looking for NB B spots that would be a foolish decision. The lions’ share of all A and WB B spots for the next year will be on the big bid. There’s no guarantee that if you skipped it there would be another bid, or that you could hold it. Also what’s the difference between being owned for 9 months vs 12 months? They both suck.

Seven months, not nine. And the difference is five months if my calculator watch isn’t failing me.
