Doesn't matter how you "feel" about moving up or how many pilots took various seperation offers. To calculate the percent change, divide the new number by the old number. This yields a positive change of 13.51%. Now divide 13.51% by the time change (Approx. 4 yrs.) equals 3.37%. The 2.8% is taking into account VSP and "paper bidders". Regardless, the growth is pitiful.

Not understanding how to do 9th grade math why you don't take tax advice from pilots. Here's how you do that math if you want to learn something. However, your timeline is short and the percent was on the smaller side, the error wasn't to egregious.

However, not sure why the overall numbers matter, when I bid based on realtive senoirty. Sounds like I'd be in the same relative position at AA as I would be here based on the same hire date.

The fact hes using Myseniority and not the actual CWA seniority list shows some errors there anyhow.

11659 pilots currently on it and thats not including the 29 that started today.

But yeah I was a 2019 hire and now bid something like 70 percent system wide.

If SW invited you to interview in the past, but you never did the interview, is there a good chance they will re-invite you back when they start hiring again?

I think this is a big "it depends" on the persons qualifications etc. If they are going to hire less than originally planned I could see the hiring mins being raised which may put some of those previously invited now under the threshold.

True with the additional caveat that D225 cadets who were in line to be hired this year still plan to flow into SWA as expected.
