Basically the vacancy was released with 27% fewer upgrades than they had announced there would be at the beginning of summer. And those upgrades are projected to go more senior than expected (on the SWAPA vacancy projection tool - basically a mock bid). Traditionally they don't go senior until after vacation bidding in September.
So where the early 2014 hires were able to choose from 3 or 4 domiciles last month, they're back to just OAK. So If I sound pessimistic, it's just because I'm an early 2014 hire.
But at the end of the day any movement up the list is better than the alternative!

I do believe we are trending in a good direction. I think we will be down to a 7 year upgrade by this time next summer.

Worse yet was being in the middle of a furlough and just about to be recalled when they went to 65, then all of the sudden "not so fast! You guys just hang in there a few more years"
When people ask why I never went back after the furlough.. it was nearly a decade! At some point you just give up and move on.
