1 unfilled vacancy on this bid, making it kind of hard to justify new hire classes after March.
Three cheers for the rapid growth at United!

Yup, most of this “vacancy” bid was senior guys swapping positions. IAH was the junior CA base on this bid at 6253 of 12511 or right at 50% system seniority. Last year this time 70% system seniority was good enough to bid CA in SFO and EWR.

bulletin was issued, the vacancy shall be cancelled.
Since the prior Vacancy bid (18-03) was posted on 10-26-17, any new hire class after Jan 26, 2018 would only be able to use the unfilled vacancies from 18-04 or beyond. I am sure they will not have a class of only 1 person, so that means we will almost certainly have another bid with lots of options on the Narrowbody FO side of things coming out relatively soon. That way they can generate some unfilled slots for the rest of the spring classes.
Hopefully there will be several more before the summer, so anybody who wants to change locations, or seats, or both before then has a shot.

This was in the last update from December 8th:
and as a reminder this is what January's vacancy last year was:
United’s International Network Planning team is still working on a few fleet-assignment details for the summer 2018 season, and our Domestic Network Planning team is putting the final touches on the 2018 summer flying level. Because of this, I do expect one additional vacancy to occur in early January, prior to the opening of annual vacation bidding.

Thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't noticed the note and would have selected another means of communicating the information, but alas it is too late to edit. Perhaps a mod can remove the image?

You are absolutely right the same seniority that held CA this held it last year, hows that for growth and upward mobility.

Are you trying to suggest that if the CA seats don't get more junior every bid that we are in a negative to no growth situation?
