If a posting shows the bottom award less than 100% (say HKG FO at 35% or CGN FO at 95%) does that mean there will be vacancies after the bid which must be filled by new hires?

No, not unless we negotiate it into the contract, like everything else.
Look up the name and then find them in the PFC new hire announcement. Sounds like I’ve answered all your questions and proven you wrong on numerous occasions and now you have a bone to pick. You know not everyone is going to agree with you on everything.

Who said anything about agreeing? I simply wanted an answer, which you have still failed to answer.

To your answer to this question, are you saying that in order to find any one specific hire date, you simply need to go through every single new hire announcement in reverse chronological order until you find it? I was hoping there was an easier way. I’m surprised anyone would go through that trouble but thanks for looking it up. Can you please do that on the final results? TIA

I'm surprised to see so few triple guys bail on this practice bid. Figured a lot of them had enough of the 3 day hostage crises.

The money means to much. Typical. Plus the hostage is temporary. Look at pilots jumping to HKG. It’s all about the Benjamin’s at the end of the day.

Im not giving you my name, but I assure you my name and class aren’t on PFC. And no we weren’t hired decades ago. Some classes just slip through the cracks.

The logic of the above post falls apart when you look at the results of the first practice bid. HKG CA actually went junior (well into the 3 million numbers) vs MEM 757 CA and there were only 8 HKG FO’s... a 5 million type would be in the top 5% of FO’s.

So pilots are clearly saying, even a crappy reserve, night hub turning, less paying job (aka jr MEM 75 CA) is better than putting up with the crap in HKG/Asia...... Almost half of the new CA’s on the list are already based in HKG. (Might as well get payed more and hopefully the situation will get better....)

Money aside, the situation has clearly changed in HKG and not for the better.

Looks like there will be a lot of vacancies for HKG FO. I bet whoever has selected FDA on their application will get a call in the next few weeks. They'll have to have a few classes of nothing but HKG in order to staff the base.
