Default 777 Cap staffing disparity. What's up?

So can anyone tell me where my math is wrong or what the heck is up with the 777 Cap vacancies or lack there of for the L-UAL domiciles.

538 total 777 captains. CAL side has 189 777 captains and 22 planes for a staffing ratio of 8.6 per plane. UAL side has 349 777 captains and 52 planes for a staffing ratio of 6.7 per plane. Plus UAL domiciles show total retirements of (9+8+4+2)=23 retirements which brings staffing below the Min value posted in 3 out of the 4 domiciles but still no vacancies posted.

And, let's not forget the 5 retirements on the 747 which is staffed to a ratio of 6.4 while the 787 is staffed to a ratio of 8.7 for now and a projected Q4 ending ratio of 10.8!

Me thinks this stinks to high heaven.

Anybody got a clue on what's up with this
