Is the reason it is predicted to be heavy on the A side simply because we’ve hired thousands of new pilots (all of whom are FOs) and therefore we have an imbalance between the two seats that needs correcting? Or is it some other reason?

Were adding a few dozen additional jets per year, I think the 2023 10K had close to 60 plus 717 reactivations. There’s plenty of growth

Yep, plus we've lost around a couple hundred captains since the last AE.

All the above, plus the last couple AE’s have been lighter on A positions.

Of course they can. The only contractural limit is on the last conversion. The timing must to be due to running out of NH spots, but they won’t take anyone off the line for the summer season.
And I’ll keep asking it until the AE comes out. It’s been half a year and still no official word at all. Idc what BS says at some meeting. I haven’t seen “second half of June” on writing anywhere so I’ll just keep asking.

Please don’t. CR announcements at Base Visits, Velvets, or on Skyhub are as ‘official’ as it ever gets. And they’ve all said the same thing right now.

If anyone gets any better intel, they won’t wait to post it here.

Request to join the Base group. It's approved within a day. I've done it twice. It's dumb we have to do that, but if thousands of us do it, they'll get the message -- or not.

Do you remember when they announced the CS100 was going to open in NYC and LAX and the AE would post in 4 days and then it posted and the A220 opened in NYC and SLC? How about all the times the results would be out by COB tomorrow but actually posted 7 days later? You can ask all you want but until it actually is posted on DeltaNet, NO ONE has any information that actually means anything. It’s all rumors until it’s an actual fact. Relax, deep breaths. It’s been 6months, what’s 0-6 more?

Ask to join the base group who is having the base visit the day before. They approve quickly, someone asked the same question and the point was, they do it that was to avoid other departments joining the pilot bases. Point being, they don't restrict joining the base to only people in that base. I've done that before, joined a base to watch the base visit. It was easy and I left that base group the next day.

Or when they displaced a bunch of pilots from the MD88 and then un-displaced them? Or when they said we're moving to smaller, more frequent bids. iCrew would even allow you to put in the LAX220 bid in for your AE preferences. Nothing really surprises me anymore, but I certainly take everything with a grain of salt.
