I must have missed it, can you show me the A/E's where there were 56 openings for 747/777 Capts? I haven't seen one in a couple years. I do recall the displacements off the 747's when they were adding the lie flat seats, did they ever reinstate those guys? It's not 'new' positions if it's simply reinstatement.
