According to the SWAPA projections, it seems that only about 350 pilots are bidding in each vacancy. Am I reading the charts wrong?

If correct, there are about 500 consistently bypassing.

Well 100% of pilots have to bid in each vacancy...

I think you are looking at the SWAPA individual vacancy view, which has a total on it that shows the number of FOs ahead of you, who are bidding Captain (at any contingency) as their top choice. This gives you a rough idea of how many FOs are bidding Captain ahead of you. Note that it has not updated to reflect yesterdays awards, so expect that number to drop for you by around 100 going into the next bid.

This bid was just a primer. The next few months are going to be huge if they stick with their plans.

I think the bypass numbers are going to actually go up as long as they keep the reserve percentages high as many folks don't want to upgrade to reserve. That creates opportunities to those who don't mind doing that, especially on the west coast.
I missed that for MDW. Good start at least. Gonna need more open spots in the Midwest and East coast to get the train moving. Right now people are bidding DEN/LAS/PHX in hopes of moving east at some point. Next couple months will be interesting….

50 Orlando vacancies would be great! LOL, but not happening.
