The company announced the parking of 91 jets, which equates to about 800 of those pilots being displaced out of their slots. They ALL REALIZE that they can mosly hold guppy Captain in their own home base. These are guys who are EXPERTS at playing this game. We went through this in 2001-2003 and again in 2009. They know exactly how to bump and how the game works.

The company can say whatever they want, but there are 76T FO's that can mostly hold Guppy Captain.

Not to mention the same number of 76T Captains, most of which willl also bump into those guppy Captain bids.

That makes about 1,800 of the 7,400 L-UAL pilots with about 87% of them able to not only hold guppy Captain, but most of the lineholders.

They will be bumping to those seats. I'd do the exact same thing in that fleet. I can hold guppy Captain in my base by over 3,500 seniority numbers. I'd be a good lineholder.
