Is that 188 320 ***CAPTAIN*** vacancies?

Yeah, that’s what I counted....for the whole year.

Notice the fact that BOS 190 CA active pilots don’t change after the reduction. For instance they are forecasting -21 for 3 straight bid awards, but don’t change the Active pilots on subsequent bids. They probably overlooked that because it makes no sense.

They certainly can’t afford to reduce BOS 190 CA by 63 pilots.

Maybe this means their "need" will be minus 21 but they don't intend to displace pilots? I saw that too and was trying to figure it out

The only thing I know for certain after viewing all the numbers in a spreadsheet is:

1) These folks have no idea how to plan
2) There will be several supplementals next year

Gibberish is what the numbers indicate to me.

That's a good point, I didn't even compare the vacancy number to the total for 190 CA, I guess I just assumed -21 (BOS) was what they were overstaffed by for the year, and it was a merely a placeholder until they need to backfill via supplementals.

Seems like it's all kind of a WAG anyway, should be entertaining to see play out...

You have it right there (#2). There will be supplemental bids.

You wrote it yourself yet you don't understand? WTF?

190BOS Capt overstaffed??? I doubt it.

None of it is clear. Maybe you can enlighten us. How many pilots are they hiring next year based on this bid?
