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.
