I could see a surplus bid on the 88, I could also see them letting attrition take pilots out of the category and shrinking accordingly.
If you look in January you'll see as many as 55-60 pilots on reserve per day but keep in mind that is January. I bid to reserve, well in most months I 'bid' down, and typically I fly 6-8 days a month or at the most 10 and it'd be more but a majority of SC trips seem to go to WS's especially 1-2 day stuff.
But ATL 88B at 505 pilots is the 2nd largest category in the system and is only behind the international category of ATL 7ER B which is 530. It didn't take much to wipe out the list on Christmas and IROPS can clean this category out as there are a lot of flights that have to be covered.
FWIW, 60% of this category are pre-9/11 FDAL hires.

Look at the ER staffing system wide.

Will the AE on the 7th (est?) include a number for possible new-hire vacancies or is that entirely different?

Well... so since YOU don't want to talk about it, I guess he should go cower in fear. He should be ashamed for bringing it up. Who do you think you are anyway? Why don't YOU go away and take your national koolaid with you? I'm sick of hearing about how great national is...
