You are correct. I am category locked for the time being. Spoke with someone about it today. Category lock will probably be off again soon.

The last bid had 128 145 captain spots, 19 of which were open.

This bid awarded 113. Sounds like 15 weren't filled.

The only reason it might not have been filled is if you weren't finished with SOE.
(This is what I'm seeing anyway. I could be completely wrong about this)

I don't totally understand how all of this works, what are the "needs" of FO's on the PHL 145? In other words, at what point will the "no reserve" go away. (Which sounds as suspicious as snake oil) but was touted in the interview as we'd have little to no reserve. Obviously with airplanes continuing to join, this changes the answer virtually day-to-day.

It's simple. We are having growing pains. Our training department is built for 25 new hires per month. We are getting new 2/3 jets per month now and don't have the surplus of pilots that you need for a healthy RESERVE.

So it's reasonable to guess this will be the norm until the supply of pilots will meet the demand of the aircraft?

Yes. No reserve and lots of premium pay to go around for awhile. I'm nervous to even think about summer flying. It's going to be crazy.

Does it do W/B as well or is that still manually done?
