Exactly right....but DEN and ORD are a phat problem. 240ish 76T pilots in DEN, 380ish in ORD. And no BAT. You are spot on about IAH, the company can bump the more junior 756 guys (since BAT makes it a single fleet for bumps). THe more senior 76T guys can volunteer to take their bumps, but only with their seniority. Brilliant!
