Most likely Friday now so that it doesn’t close on a weekend.

Yeah, that's the next most likely. Though they did have one AE close on a Sunday...

AE is out.. not too bad.

Some widebody positions. Looks like some ramping up for the 737Max.

The target number for NYC320 seems to be 200. Is the A side above/below this? As some have mentioned before, it’s seems that many pilots, and I would assume early upgrades, moved to NYC over the past few years, leading to more stagnation than we typically see from NYC. My guess anyway.

B side has been chronically under 200 for over a year - hence the 15 spots.

A ton of NYC 330 B, which will likely drive WB B more junior than 70ish%. Also STILL a ton of DTW 320 B and NYC 7ER B, which will go unfilled and go to NH’s. Finally a few 717 A’s a well.

Overall a very large bid, but the vast majority are bound for NH’s, which points to continued robust hiring into April at least.

A side is below going forward. And another 10 or so bid out with zero backfills. Even at target and shoulder season schedule every day is black, 95% black after PBS awards before any pre-posted rest or PCS run....

73NA staffing looks like getting depleted as well, but still tons of blue days.
