As I recall, in that early out program there were about 30 747 Capt. and 30 A330 Capt's who left, and in the last A/E (M/D) there were 15 777 Capt. displacements...so...unless there are 75 Wide Body Capt. A/E's in this next bid, I'd hardly call it neutral.
DC 9's getting bumped -up- to MD90's, yes, that's a good thing, but how about replacing some of the 75 missing wide body Capt.s?
