With the slow replacement of 73 to 76 there has been easy movement into 73 vacancies by senior 76ca. One can only move into the fleet with vacancies and there's plenty of 76 guys in line to hold it. The 76 staffing is getting sucked down from the top, leaving no need to displace. Down the road there might even be lual 76ca vacancies. 76fo's will be waiting a long time before getting into a 73ca seat. By that time there'll be enough retirements that it'll all even out.
