I think it’s more that things are returning to normal and we are finally getting properly staffed.
The schoolhouse always slows throughput during peak. This isn’t new

from one class to another. You can kind of guess by looking at the training letter but there’s no way to tell exactly what is going to be offered.

When a bid closes do they publish the unbid positions that will be offered to new hires?

I said...
You responded.
I then said...
And you responded...
Which brings us back to my original post. If you had read the whole thing, you would see that I stated that we still wouldn't know what would be offered in each class.

I think what would be more helpful is finding out what seats are still left and how many. Even that doesn't tell you what will be available to a new hire class, only what may be available.

“In place of wet-leasing, the MD-10-30s will be operating for this quarter as SIBA, and expect to be retired in early 2023. Our single wet leasing contract will expire in 2023 and there is currently no future wet leasing planned. As previously stated, overall fleet credit hours have been reduced recently, and the Company is planning on possible economic slowdown in 2023.”
Good thing we had the MD SIBA bid otherwise it would have been subbed out via wet lease per SIG notes?
I would rather see FDX pilots fly that than get a penalty payment. Although our scope has done a good job maintaining and growing our fleet and pilot seniority list.

If you rather see FDX pilots fly that then it means scope isn’t up to your standards?
