The category summary has your true percentage in a base/seat. I would never bid a position based solely of the vacancy bidding screen.

The last sfo 737 CA category summary shows 39% as a 62xx seniority number. The Vacancy bidding screen is not the true reality of the situation in a base and seat. The vacancy bidding screen is NOT a good idea of your in base seniority given the fact that the company has hard time filling upgrades in sfo.

But, I doubt you'll be a lineholding captain in 5 years. The only time that happens 5 years into a (generally) 25-30 year career is massive massive growth. |

I realize that but my overall seniority there would be in the low 40's. I would never bid it as I have no interest in being based there. It was simply an example.

Meant to add that while the summary does show true percentage in real time, I still prefer the PBS doc as it shows useful info to me - employee #s for junior line holders. For me at least that's really what I care about when I consider upgrading - how long will I be on reserve. True % in base doesn't mean much to me unless I know where the junior line holders are.

It’s still a much better representation than the vacancy screen. |

True % doesn’t matter LOL ok…..
I guess I'm missing the reason for your sarcasm. I was trying to add value to this discussion and help the guy asking the question; not trying to step on your toes. Been a member here long enough that I guess I shouldn't be surprised. |

Unless I’m mistaken the Category Summary is a little unreliable now too. At least for NBCA. All the NHs that have been awarded upgrades in the last few months all show up there, but they won’t actually be online in that seat for a year plus.
