"to its size, posting of the Initial Award for Vacancy Notice 17-01 has been delayed to Monday, March 20th. Because of the new ATL domicile, this award caused many more movements than we saw in past vacancies. The Company was concerned that errors would occur if the awarding process was rushed, and therefore made the decision to delay until Monday to ensure a correct award is published the first time. The new timeline (which will allow a full withdrawal period) is as follows"

Does this insinuate most if not all captain and first officer positions in ATL were lateral moves?

I think there were MORE 900 CA to ATL 200 CA movements than the company thought.

And when that happens those 900 CA vacancies now need to be filled. And they are filled by current 200 CAs. Those leave 200 CA vacancies in NYC.

So, 1 vacancy creates 3 training events.

This is not what the company wants.

There are a number of 900 CAs that live, or double commute in ATL. Going to the 200, even with the pay cut, is a no brainer.

It's my educated guess. I was a DRC Rep and I have helped and watched the company process an award like this. Mind you that after the computer awards primary vacancies, the rest of the award must be processed by hand. It's tedious, annoying, and extremely labor intensive.

If they are complaining that it is larger than anticipated, that means there were more movements than they had forecasted. So what they will actually do is pause and make sure they have the training capacity to support these movements before they award them.

It's all moot. I'm just thinking out loud based on past experiences.
