Vacancy Bid 2204-V2
 
Yet another massive vacancy bid.

268 Captain Vacancies
742 FO
1,010 total

We already had unfilled 737 and Airbus Captain bids on the last one. This is going to be even worse. 139 737 Captain bids alone. I bet 50 of them go unfilled as pilots bid out of LAX/SFO/EWR and into ORD/IAH/DEN.

Will easily see 100+ unfilled WBFO bids too.

This is nuts. They are going to need to hire more than 50 a week to cover these.

The numbers in the last 3 bids is "dizzying" in some respects. I can't keep up. I can't wait to change fleets!

Right, so what has changed since the last bid? That is, where are the bodies going to come from to bid the CA slots? I guess this is just a shuffle to let all those that want out of LAX/SFO/EWR then, huh?

Thats what it looks like. Probably a lot of laterals sucking out of the coasts.

This may or may not happen. There are a lot of senior pilots in IAH/ORD that have been waiting to upgrade in base that might take up a lot of these slots. I doubt if we see many unfilled CA vacancies, if any on this bid.

The FTC can’t handle more than 200 a month.

And with the high number of IAH CAs, we’re going to lose a LOT of instructors.

IAH will end up with a lot more than 60 CAs.

To take the NB at a certain percentage in SFO, or not to take it? I don’t commute in. Tough choice leaving WB FO slot I think. Comments? FWIW I prefer to work less.
