And I am betting LAX717A goes over 11000.

56 people doesn't really mean anything as some of them could have their 717A bid as their second or lower choice or those bids have qualifiers.

I'm guessing you included "all bidders" in that 56 number? I think the last I looked was Monday and there were only 18 1st pref bids in front of me (a mid 2014 hire). I'm not bidding it so I wasn't that concerned. I guess there could have been a last minute rush of bidders that I missed.

Yeah I figured as much. I thought perhaps he had some inside info on how junior it'll go in ATL this AE.

The 88ATL will still be very interesting to watch on this AE. 40 slots is a lot of fill plus backfills.

It was pretty funny I was having a party for my Navy retirement and a whole bunch of DAL acquaintances started texting me Congratulations - which I thought was for my retirement until I realized that I was awarded a CAPT bid. This definitely added to the party atmosphere!
