Fairly good info, but there are a lot of other things going on. If they can wait until early OCT (When they anticipate getting DOJ approval) they can backfill and redistrubute people a lot more efficiently and in one bid versus two or three. There is also a lot of talk of the CVG767 becoming an ER base. It is possible, but they are looking at other alternatives as well. Needless to say: 1) The longer they wait to post it the more options and backfilling there will be
2) With the new 777 sim they can get staffed up with only about four months or so of training. Most guys will have already had TOE on the ER so it will be SOE just to get checked out in the 777. Lot quicker. (At least that is what they have been saying. One trip versus two two)
