So once those guys bump to what they can hold... How do we know what will happen next? Where will the bumped guys go? Clearly to what they can hold in a secondary bump... But the little color coded staffing chart shows we will need 737 in SFO/DEN/ORD/LAX... When will those show as a vacancy and not require people to be bumped?
Sorry if that was super confusing.
Probably never. The graph said that by the summer of 2015 there would need to be between 25-50 Captains on the 737 in Denver. There are 130 Denver displacements just on this bid alone, not to mention that they have about 400 total in Denver to surplus.
There will not be a vacancy bid for Denver 737 Captain for a very long time because there will be more people bumping to it in just this one displacement, not to mention the others that will follow in the coming 9 months.
I'm sure many 76T FOs who get a bump to Denver guppy Captain on this displacement will soon be bumped out themselves as they keep coming.
So the amount of training and re-training that is going to occur in the next year will be staggering.
