I'm guessing the future desk would know. They're nice people and if you give them a call during business hours they'd help you out.

And the DCA 737 increase is pretty impressive too. 35/40 seats added to a pool of only 127/128.

But I thought Dca was on the chopping block? Makes sense, add a boat load of people to dca, then close said domicile....
In all seriousness, it is very nice to see these bids(vacancy bids)!

Yeah, that ETOPS Loft can be pretty challenging, with plotting charts getting all creased and pencils breaking

Not really. The pages are formatted differently under flying together. Flight Ops,
Crew resources, manpower planning, vacancy bids.

Grumble, I'm not sure what you mean by "actual growth" being different from new hire vacancies. Down near the bottom of the list where I live, I'd go from around #60 and 90% in the seat to #60 and 50% in the seat on the 320 in EWR, assuming all 40 of those slots are filled with new hires.

It's why we had days in 2013 when 100 plus guys would be on reserve in EWR... which was 25% of the list at times.
