There will be some 76 CAPT retirements, and more than a few that bid to wide body, but the vast majority of 76 FO's cannot hold wide body capt, so where are they going to bump to?
I would guess there will be a bloodbath, unless UCH decides to sit on too many 73 Capt. They rarely do this for any length of time.
Bloodbath? Not going to happen. As I said, they'll be slowly integrated to the 73 thru vacancies. Little to no displacements for 76fo's. Wait in line, till your number is called. Be patient because it'll be a long wait for some. There's a long wait in line to go to Houston. With the number of retirements it'll be a wash in a few years anyway and we'll be talking about new hires being Captains within five years.
