DEN is going to need less than 50 net new Captains and FOs on the guppy.
There are still about 30 pilots who haven't submitted their choices yet for this bump so those numbers are going to rise.
There are still going to be at least 2 more bumps of this size in DEN still. Its likely that most of these pilots will get bumped as well.
Expect Captain in DEN to go to less than 5,000 seniority and 7,500 just to be based there.
DEN is going to be ugly.
Don't expect vacancy bids for a long time in DEN.
IAH guppy is next, overstaffed by 100+ in each seat not to mention the DEN pilots that are going to go to that base.
The two running manpower planning are LUAL managers, and they are very experienced at displacement and base right-sizing.
The next year will be interesting.
