Vacancy 19-07V

Small vacancy, but a vacancy is better than no vacancy.

737 CA - 1 (DEN)
A-320 CA - 25 (EWR, SFO)
777 FO - 10 (EWR)
787 FO - 13 (EWR, DEN)
756 FO - 10 (DEN)
737 FO - 90 (CLE, EWR, SFO, DCA, DEN, IAH, ORD)
A-320 FO - 65 (EWR, DCA, SFO, DEN)

No movement at ORD...standard

Why are there more CAs in any given narrow body category than the respective FO category? I understand the the more FOs on wide body than CAs due to augmentation.

A current example of this is SFO756CA/FO. 86 SFO756CAs and 68 SFO756FOs. Does that mean super chill schedules than for that fat category of SFO756CA?

I only see considerable imbalances in EWR and SFO 737/320. Coincidentally that is where most new hires end up going. Might not be that out of whack once all the new hires are online for summer.

A greater than 5% increase is very significant, but CLE is nothing like ORD.

Take that however you choose to.

Not good, not bad. Just not “Lil” ORD.

Did we skip over “Vacancy 19-06” for some reason like the 13th floor of building?

The number corresponds to the year-month that the bid is effective. So, since this bid is effective the first day of the July bid month (6-30) it is an -07 bid.

The last bid was effective in May, so it was an -05 bid.

Since there was so much time between this bid and the last one, we skipped right over any option to have a bid effective in June
