Oh, they are coming. And as I said in my post, there will be no need to displace the 05/06 Captains, as there are plenty of 737s yet to be delivered. THe 05/06 guys will just be a nice reserve cushion for all the 75/76 FOs that will come cascading down on top of them when they get their displacements. Seniority rules!
"Displacements thru staffing" ???? you need to read the new contract, skippy. Displacements are displacements. When the 76T pilots get their diplacements (bumps), they can go wherever they can hold. It's the United way, baby. Get ready.
"05/06 Captains will be Captains for their entire career"....I am sure that's what many of them thought in 2008....right before getting displaced back into the right seat. Absolute statements in this business are foolish.
