If the number out drops a BES below the min, the backfill shows up on the snapshot. If it is still at min or above, the company isn't required to backfill regardless of how many bid out; thus, it isn't until the final that they post backfills above the min.

For instance, DEN 737 FO is 172 min/172 max. DEN 320 FO is 132 min/162 max. 7 guppy guys bid out, 7 come in on snapshot. 6 bus guys bid out, company can choose to do nothing or backfill 1-6 guys. So they'll wait to see how everything else shakes out before adjusting the new min/max and releasing the unfilled for new hires.
^^This is correct.

LTA and SUP don’t count against available pilots so shouldn’t be backfilled. I don’t even count them when checking where I’m at for actual monthly bidding purposes.

NO! The SUP and LTA's are not even counted as awards. Look at DEN 756 CA. There are 35 awards but 57 names listed on the 10/3 snapshot. That's because there are 22 SUP and LTA's. They are paper bids. Place holders in case they come back to the line.

Remember all the previous threads where guys wanting improvements to reserve scheduling are chastised that "they chose to be on reserve". I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the guys down bidding have had their fill.

747 FOs assuming they would get bumped out of captain, so they did it for the pay.

They did not get another bump, so now they (luckily) have a vacancy bid.

Final is out. Around 33 unfilled. West coast 737 and 756.

Looks like the company did do a decent amount of backfills for the 756.

Den FO went more junior in the 756 than the 737 by a little.

Turned out to be pretty good size. About 300 awards. With all the backfills, some people are getting a surprise today.
