Actually your going to need to wait longer for that discussion. 3 years from now is when we will know the true effects. This contract really started 6 weeks ago. The bid coming will have to in the end have the same number of displacements as entitlements or something close since we are not hiring. It will however have a net gain in CA slots which is the key. There will be displacements on the FO side but a bunch of FO's will see a first time upgrade to CA. The bid to really watch will be next fall/winter when they have to start covering 5 new aircraft a month.
