So when’s the next AE coming out? Any guesses on a SLC 330 base?

We have 92 350/330s currently. We have 2,627 pilots to fly those planes. That’s 28.5 pilots per plane.
Next year we will be getting another 16 of these planes. That means we need another 456 pilots to cover those. When you factor in retirements, my guess is we’ll need at least 150 more positions putting it to 600 pilots (roughly 40% CAs / 60% FOs).

This AE we had a total of 60 330/350 openings. That’s only 10% of what we will need for 2024. I’m confident that moving forward these results will trend more junior. This was just a weird AE.

How many of these WB A area codes use their get-out-of-training-free card when they didn’t get their bypass? Maybe the next bid doubles WB A positions to cover this bid’s bypass-fishers and next bid’s too.

I know at least one unsuccessful fisherman who plans on training for the pay raise.
Minimal bypass awards discourages fishing for bypass. You get what you reward.

It's important to note too that when you withdraw from an award you are locked for another 24 months, which for many fishers may take them to retirement age. So if you're 63+ you only get one shot to fish for the bypass.

will be interesting to see how many withdraw instead of going to training.

But, more importantly, did you go for your move or can we expect a few more weeks of FMF AE giddiness?

Very sensible post. People are freaking out about WB movement on a bud that had 14 widebody B openings, 8 of which were on the LAX350. Relax people, it wasn’t even a widebody bid.
