Staffed "well" lol. I've been called for 4 OOBGS just today. We've been sending out full 3, 4 and 5 day GS like candy lately. It must be this holiday weekend coming up 🤣.

Category dependent. My category has almost totally dried up, in both seats. Premium was hardly flowing even over the holidays.

From your mouth to the Deltamatic 5000 AE Processor's ears.

Maybe Spring Break is coming early to the northeast.

I can see 20+ backfills in NYC330A, but I'm expecting most of them in the 3,500-4,000 range. Regardless, I have my bids loaded just in case. BWYWWWYB.

I'm expecting a few senior FOs in my category will move left and I'll be pleased when the dust settles. With every bid life keeps getting better in the right seat, which makes the move left a smaller gain.

I can guarantee someone will look at the results and say "How did they award X ? I didn't see any vacancies". That also solidifies your point. Repeating BWYWWWYB is pointless when pilots don't grasp the vacancy award process. I think I'll stop echoing a useless phrase.

it's just that they are gearing up to open MSP. so they run you thin until they drop the 717 MSP cat and let the Vikings pillage the new category.
