Weird, I guess it updated because things it said I could hold yesterday are gone today despite somewhat large openings. I know it’s not indicative of anything really but was curious if with the factored in standing bids I’d have a shot ha

The movement at the low of the seniority list is going to be astounding on this one!

This is going to be huge. There are 771 total vacancies. With every single category except SFO 787 requiring an backfill PLUS every single vacancy having 8-C-4-a secondaries, I wouldn’t be shocked to see 1,500 total awards with probably 1,000 unfilled after this. I hope they are hiring pilots like crazy because we are going to need them.

With your gauge of the new vacancies what aircraft would mostly likely let me hold IAH the quickest at this time?

Any thoughts on how long on property to hold WB CA it’ll be?

The company may backfill up to the min staffing level via a secondary bid that runs concurrent with the primary bid. The secondary bid is open to all pilots and not just pilots junior to the ones bidding off as the poster alluded to. Sometimes secondary bids for certain BES can go very senior if there are only a few awarded.
