WE WILL NOT BACKFILL THE FIRST 4 DCS.

Yes its 18 this month but we can backfill some so im quessing about 25-30 this time around. Its so low cause the school house is maxed out so give it a month or two b4 we get to the big bid again

ryane--dude your "prediction" was only like 2 months ago:rolleyes: High five man!

Once again, backfills do not create net upgrades. If a Captain moves to a different airplane then a backfill-able vacancy is created. Only one FO gets an upgrade, although 2 pilots get different seats. It only creates extra training cycles, not actual upgrades.

This bid reflects a probable net of 14 new upgrades with the announcement to not backfill up to the first 4 DCS vacancies created. The company Q&A page very recently stated an expectation of about 20 CA vacancies per month through year's end, so don't be disappointed when more bids with 45-80 CA vacancies don't materialize.
