It will be interesting on the final tomorrow to see how much the company utilizes the extra awards that 8-C-4-a allows. On the final snapshot there were 4 CLE 737 CA , 7 DEN 737 CA, 26 IAH 737 CA, and 8 ORD 737 CA awards that were taking a lateral into the respective domicile, so the company could award that many more slots in those locations that actually require training.

We could see some extra impressive numbers in those Bases if the company wants to try and compensate for those unfilled Captain slots immediately!

I’m smelling lots of premium trips when they attempt to cover that flying through other bases.

Vacancy Bid 2204-V2

Were the vacancy results that startling that they had to sleep on it?

The company actually has a ton of "optional" backfilling they can do (above and beyond the mandatory ones) and each one of those optional backfills creates a bunch of other movement.

I am hoping that they are taking the extra time to figure out how to maximize the optional backfills.....

..... but the reality is prob closer to the AirHoss' assesment

Jr Captain was about 8500 system seniority with 27 unfilled FO vacancies.

From: B767 Captain

I couldn’t quite hold CLE Captain on this bid and I was hired just over 14 years ago. Also can’t hold a line (reserve only) as a 320 Captain in DC, even though it had unfilled vacancies.
