Everyone was hoping for a little forward movement, which more than anything else would come from new hires staffing the Douglas equipment coming on property and everyone remaining status quo, or perhaps moving up a bit.
While we are all happy to see more mainline jets, displacements to staff them are not met with a lot of cheering from the junior folk.

I won't comment on the rest of the post but my "crystal ball" says there will be more than one more displacement in the future, at least off the domestic 767. When Delta starts parking 757's as we are getting 737-900's, where do you think the displacements are going to come from? In my mind the domestic 767 is the, for lack of a better word, "perfect" category to cover these displacements. The company wants to get rid of the category here is a taylor made way to get rid of the category......
