This bid as previously announced closes the ATL 767 Domestic category, and all DC9 Categories. There were 3 NYC 765 B displacements posted. No other NYC displacements.

When factoring in the displacements, this bid has posted a net positive 83 new Captain positions and a total net positive 57 positions."

This is Council 66's FB post. Look how rosy they make it all sound!! Of Course they show all the vacancy numbers but not the displacement numbers. And what us really junior guys care about are all the windfall displacements that aren't published.

I am happy that I have a job here at Delta. Kinda....

We are adding 669 pilots, almost as many as we predicted. Damn, you people complain too much. One day your complaining we're going to furlough, then we add nearly 700 pilots and 100 737s, 88 717s and 65 MD90s and you freaking new hire keyboard warriors still come here and complain. Nothing is going to make you happy. Go to UCAL or SWA!"


sound about right?
