Nope.....I wish I could say I was excited about a 400 seat vacancy but nothing really excites me about it...

The rumor of an "even bigger" bid seemed to germinate then grow on its own. I don't think there was ever any "official" word that it would be so....more of a "clean-up" from the last one.

It's not the "Mother of All Bids."

It's her teenage daughter.

We lost a major daily route to Dubai...I wonder if that caused a last second change to the numbers.

160 are 737/320 FO spots which will just be shuffle/new hires.

There will be plenty of backfills.

Actually in IAH on the 320 that is NOT true.

The current count of 320 FOs is 191. The MIN is 128.

This means they won't backfill unless 63 FOs bid out.
