I got a Navy bud on the 88 in ATL that swears they are going to place a huge 787 order. The 33 planes alone are expansion, according to him. There should be a LOT of movement there.

I'll second that rumor. Most of the new aircraft (with options for more) are 737-700. Those are on the bottom of the payscale (less than MD88), so APC - update your payscales.
Also rumored - a 100 seat aircraft. DAL is looking hard at several types. Less pay than the -700.
Having said that, the upgrade times to Capt may decrease as well as quicker opportunites to fly big intl jets.
