I think we may need to send you to a "new" sensitivity ground school!!
I to believe that the positions held in 2010 should be starting point on ones expectation. I've said I understand why people like "Hoss" are ticked off!(I agree!) But, I don't understand why either group (excluding pilot64golfer) gets on here and say if I suffer you better suffer also!! I'm not totally against opening up the whole system to a system flush, it would give me a chance to get back to Denver as a Capt on 76! JK I would be a really junior Capt on that plane and have no interest going to training!!
I'm just throwing stuff out there to show nobody knows how people are going to bid. i.e.-would a senior 76/75 FO want to go to the regional 73 and be mid/junior line holder? I could be wrong but, I don't think all those guys are willing to jump on the 73 just to be a Capt! Anyway, what day in October was the displacement Bid?
I hate to admit it, but I actually kinda agree. The company has already shown a willingness to keep more than half a base on reserve so I see a distinct possibility that they open a trickle of 737 bids in DEN and ORD and LAX bringing the 76T numbers down gradually over the next two years. Just because the 757s are going away doesn't mean the flying is going away. It's shifting fleets. So I'm not sure bumps are ever coming, at least not in the wholesale batch of which many on this thread are dreaming.
