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.

At least a few 2014 hires were awarded MDW this bid. DAL grew by a bit, but not enough to really get things moving. Houston has been stagnant and isn't going to grow at all until this summer according to crew planning. Once those bases start growing, expect secondary vacancies to create a big vacuum. 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.
