Hey question for the AE....Would only posted vacancies be filled? Or would positions that become vacant as a result of the bid be awarded as well?
Example...If an NYC 7ER F/O bids into ATL (or another position), will the NYC 7ER F/O position that is being vacated be open to bid into?
When the company says no backfill does that mean they will leave vacated positions unfilled?

Keep in mind also that the numbers they talk about in the AE posting are subject to change by the time they actually make awards.

Every pilot who moves position on an AE creates a vacancy. That vacancy will either be filled or not based on how many numbers the company wants in that category/seat after this AE. That's why, if category numbers are remaining constant, pilots get awarded positions that were not posted as vacancies on the AE posting...i.e. a NYC 7ER F/O takes one of the ATL 717A positions, someone else, say a M88 FO, gets awarded NYC 7ER FO even though the AE showed no NYC7ER FO vacancies. If they wanted the NYC7ERFO category to shrink by 1 position they wouldn't "backfill" that guys slot and the M88 FO would not get that award.
Keep in mind also that the numbers they talk about in the AE posting are subject to change by the time they actually make awards.

This is the most disturbing part of AE.
"The 7ER block hours will peak in July and decrease by 25 percent by the time we reach December 2014."
Currently 1493 7ER capt - 25% = 373 displacements
Currently 1791 7ER F/O - 25% = 447 displacements
YIKES
That is a lot of people bidding and displacing to lower paying jobs.
And yes we will have the 330 coming on property in 2015 but they will barely offset the the above reduction.

Interesting about the A350. Under the heading of "you never know if someone knows what they're talking about when they tell you something", but I was told that the Feds were going to see if it was possible for an A330 guy to fly the A350 with just differences training. I asked an A330 check airman if we could be one fleet if we got the A350, and he said no way.

So I can't see an A330 to A350 course being any longer, probably shorter.
Here's the A350 cockpit... different than the 330 for sure..
