My prediction is that no one knows anything in upper management.
So this will go on for a little bit just to get the L-UAL pilots where they want to be. In 9 months the displacements will settle down and then we can all go on complaining about something else (myself included).
In order to curb displacements I suggest that we all buy our captains 50 chicken wings and a case of beer for every night on our overnights. You'll move up as they medical out...
