Now yes. When I left, no.
Granted I was NQAT for my last 9 months on the ER so my bid was generally a futile effort.

Also there were months where things got weird due to ridiculous reserve numbers. I want to say no coverage bekow X percent of lineholders, but when you have 2-3 x the normal on reserve in 2020 you'd run into weird stuff. Like when all senuor guys are bidding reserve and you are bottom half of reseve at 40%

This bid has almost the exact same number of WB CA as the last bid and that caused crazy movement. Add to that way more 7ERA on this bid. There is nothing to complain about. It is clearly the healthy amount of CAs the training department can handle. I think the real story is how many FEWER WB B spots there are this time around. This combined with the real possibility of paybanding will likely ensure there are no unbid WB B spots.

I read between the lines that they’re barely holding on with training capacity and all the movement as-is. They’re too scared to open a new base because that can lead to unpredictable bids and many people breaking seat locks.

But not so bad if they open a base with only 20-25 crews, wait 60 days for the "new aircraft category" clause to expire, then post the full category size.

Not that this is really worth much but at SLC base meeting they said they might do an opening of 40-45 people. But right now they see a base need for about 100-110 FO’s. Captains a little less. They said 4 international departures, but there are only 3 year round. Unless they might add one, not sure. Or the “fourth” is seasonal routes they do out of SLC off an on. Some of ER does them as well.
