All 737 CA bids will go unfilled except MCO and maybe LAS. But the rest will be unfilled.

I'm going to wager LAS goes unfilled as well.

There are 100 captain slots. 75 will be lineholders. Those will fill easily. Surely among 10,000 eligible pilots there will be 25 interested to sit reserve from home in a state that won’t tax their $250k paycheck

The difference reflects pilots holding EWR 320 CA changing status since the last vacancy bid award was posted.
LTD pilots returning to flying, Instructors, company SA and even ALPA absences taking previously awarded EWR 320 CA seats.
202 is what they project in May and 197 was what they had when 23-02V closed.

Those pilots coming back to active line status will now show up on the new Vacancy MIN/MAX.
Often times it goes the other way with pilots going out on LTD, taking SA jobs, or ALPA office.

Nothing will change until reserve gets changed…

Yeah I’m gonna have to accept that I’m not getting MCO.

Good news is that it looks like IAH is dynamic in my favor.

Take a look at the LGA pairings on the bus. That's what I'm guessing MCO will look like. Four days with a lot of early AM shows finishing in the evening to very late (near midnight).

They're worth more than many other bases, but you're working the full four days.
