For the most part they are avoiding the guppy and going to the 747 in SFO or 777 in LAX.
I think my prediction of 6 going to guppy Captain is going to be really close. We are at 4 with about half the FOs preferencing.
Actually the LA777 base can handle it. You forget that the 777 is taking over the SDY route causing new vacancies in that plane. There's almost 20 guys leaving LA altogether, creating more vacancies in the hub. No secondary bumps at all. And with many 73CA going to 787CA those handful of guys going to the 73 will be easily absorbed.
