I love office pools: I'll say official end of summer, what is that, Sep 21?

It was promised in late August. C'mon, they still have 727 minutes left. Give 'em a chance.

If I were putting money in the pot I would bet on this afternoon with tomorrow mid day at the latest. Of course I have been wrong before by a few hours or so...

And I would be in the money. Bid is out with 202 captain vacancies due to retirements and additional staffing on the 737. ORD 737 as well as DEN 737 grew the most. Shift of 757/767 FO positions from IAH up to EWR. EWR will be the primary base for all 767-400 flying next year thus the reduction in IAH first officer positions.

451 total vacancies. Biggest I've seen. With the writing of the TA at a standstill I guess their plan to grow LCAL under its cheap workrules and shrink LUAL continues unabated.

Total vacancies, 451 or a 10.1% increase in the total active Pilot body count.

Didn't see that. The total body count in the IAH B756 base stays the same.

I will quote: "a number of 756-FO positions are being shifted from IAH to EWR. This is in response to the projected widebody redeployment plans. It is expected that by the end of the second quarter of 2013 that 767-400 flying will be primarily supported from the EWR-756 base".

It was in the body of the bid announcement.
