They need to train or move your replacement. Generally, if your category is overstaffed, then you might go sooner. If it's understaffed, you'll go later.

 

Looks like more backfills on the NBA side this mock, wonder if that’ll hold true for the final.

 

wba 468x. rolling along…

 

It certainly didn't in my world, one bid out and no backfills were awarded. Rather lackluster AE for the NB Captains.

 

Dec AE
WB A 46xx, 27.2%
WB B 12,6xx, 73.6%
NB A 139xx, 80.9%

BOS 330 A 27xx 16.0%
BOS 330 B 139xx 73.6%

Very slightly more junior WB (A and B), and more senior NB Captain bids. NB A seems to be on a distictly more senior trend, which as hiring slows to a normal pace (or less?), will drive the time to hold Captain notably longer. Prosepective NH's take note. Despite saying they likely woudn't fill all BOS spots, there were actually a few BOS backfills for the first time (I think), as some folks bid out via base change, and one first time captain. That said, I took BOS out of the chart, since it seems to be pretty stable now (2 bids now, where the junior WB B awarded was BOS 330 B), and it feels like a distraction. I also had excel add sub-10% grid lines to be able to see smaller trends. As always, happy to have any feedback.

 

What's the purpose of the Mock AE ? The final bid almost always differs.

 

Agreed. It's not very useful if you are close to a cut line, or rely on a backfill. But for those who are in the middle, it's nice to see how much wiggle room you might have. As long as you acknowlege looking at the mock that it's a limited tool, and that the final almost always goes senior to the mock, it's a nice preview for many (but not all).

 

In the mock bid, my category had 11 leaving and 11 backfill. The actual AE had 1 leave and 0 backfill. I really don't see any value in the mock bid, just set your % bid and let ride.

 

This is totally pedantic and absolutely dick, but my only suggestion would be to stop hovering your cursor over the graphs when you screenshot them (Chart Area pop-up in top left).

I'll give you my employee number so you know who to avoid in future pairings.

 

Widebody A has now fallen to Dec 2007. The WB Wall has firmly cracked. 700 numbers until 2014. The Wall will Fall
