About 65-70%.

In PHX they would be about 310 out of 375, many upgraded in 2015.

October bid is out. 85 upgrades. That's an improvement over the 60 that they told us a few weeks ago. Wonder what changed?
Either way, everybody in the right seat moves up almost 1%... Hold on to your hats!

Took a look...as expected, a bad time to be a junior FO. FO vacancies will appear again when spots are needed for new hires, I'm guessing that will be January....

Looks like the upgrade is going relatively senior as compared to the current most junior Captain.

If senior FOs are upgrading, seems like that is good for everyone.

Every FO moves up, better schedules, better vacations, better open time chances, etc.

Why does it show so many displacements though?
