"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.

Sorry ***** no junior 73 Captains will get bumped. Yes, stagnation for a few years but their in and will always be. And many, 98,99,00 hires, have been Captains for 5+ years already. Most are high line holders and will continue to be. It probably sucks sitting in a right seat for half your career. I get your frustration, but no sli can turn back time. You got thrown a bone, just say thank you and try to enjoy your remaining years.
