[QUOTE=Viking6;2733145]Planning has to make spots to put all the new hires. We’re overstaffed on the FO side, so they are just trying to balance the bases. They’re in the dark about what the long term plans are (additional airframes), so they’re just reacting to the increase in pilot supply.[/QUOTE
Sounds good. With the latest junior lines this month, PIT is attractive but only if there was something to the 20+ vacancies. Currently I am IND based and PIT's junior line holder is only one class ahead so I guess it isn't worth the hassle... Especially since I would be commuting (ATL) to either one.

So the latest new hire class just had 25 (out of 36) FO's assigned to PIT. Given that, plus the fact that the only vacancies posted for June are at PIT, is it reasonable to think that someone from a 2018 training class might want to bid PIT in order to hold a line sooner?

Well, with the new vacancy award, IAH is now the most senior base on the FO side by almost 100 numbers. 10 new backfill awards into MIA, compared to only 3 into IAH.
Good news for everyone wanting MIA! It's junior award is only about 250 spots above the most junior new hire right now.
