Are we sure the AE will be tomorrow?

No, but the previous AEs have been published on Sept 6th, Aug 5th, July 5th, June 4th, May 4th, April 5th, March 5th..

So it should be close, tomorrow is Oct 4th, Friday too. (but the May one was on a Saturday).

My prediction is they open Bos 320 on this bid instead of 330 just to keep us guessing.

That would be Savage. The outcry would be so fierce I bet another Hats Off Campaign would start

Now is the best time to open a new base. Hiring is pausing for November and December, so no new hires in the sims from December through February. That provides excess training capacity to handle a large WB bid with the resulting cascade of secondary movement.

By a lot of 330 instructors that would otherwise be sitting on their hands with no newhires to train?
