No if is from another bid. Every bid runs on its own.

Same bid. Last AE I was awarded SLC (I was brought back on the previous AE to NY), now affected pilots jr to me are being converted to SLC.

Yeah, reread and deleted my post. You're too quick.

Probably a decent number. Not only deliveries but there are still a steady number of retirements off that fleet despite the VEOP.

Does anyone have the VEOP numbers for 330 retirees?

I gotta go out for a few hours shortly but what numbers do you want? I saved all the VEOP documents I received and that were on DeltaNet. I can look up what you might be looking for or forward you the documents.

Thanks Denny! I was just wondering how many total 330 Captains took the early out. Add that number to the 8 incoming airframes x how many captains per airplane, plus future retirements for 2 years, would give the previous poster around how many slots will be coming up in the next 2 years.

Don't overestimate the company's ability or motivation to proactively stay ahead of the assignment and training tasks for future vacancies and manning. {sarcastic mode trigger warning} I've heard rumors and plenty of opinions (but none from "top men," so obviously these rumors are unsubstantiated) that suggest the company might do silly things like empty out categories because they don't perceive the need at the moment and think it will save them a buck to kick training costs and higher pay rates down the road a little for small and large numbers of pilots. {sarcastic mode still engaged} There might even be nefarious plans to be short-manned on WB aircraft in order to give JV partners room to breath, recover, and grow, then tell everyone that will listen that we just don't need to do that flying in house because we don't have the pilots or training capacity to meet the need. {sarcastic mode off} In other words, while it might be entirely reasonable to conjecture about WB CA and FO openings, I personally wouldn't count on it until I see it published in a bid. . . . because of summer thunderstorms, leap year recovery, pandemic and all.

Those pesky leap years really screw everything up.
