3. When are the C7 leaving? April? So displacements are inevitable. With No new equipment arriving (175's) till 2016, Jr Ca's are going back to FO.
4. The same 300-400 Top Sr. "lifers" will most probably bid the new and improved (still junk) E175's.
Goodluck!

Time will tell on number one, and there hasn't been enough of it since the deal was inked to conclude anything yet.
I've heard your rationalization on why flow will stop but it has yet to actually happen and my money is on it won't.
The 700s are not slated to leave until June, and it will take a year and a half to lose them all. Many MIA EMJ pilots have begun, or soon will, training on them. I doubt they would do that for zero line time. My money is on them not leaving until August or later. Oh and the 175s start this November. We will have 9 of them this year. Initial cadre set to begin late spring and full training in late summer. It will be a good sized bubble.
There are just over 300 "lifers". I don't know one outside of the training center that would be dumb enough to bid initially for the 175. Why would someone like me do this? I have it awesome on the 145 right now. Obviously you have never been around for new equipment with your statement anyway. Kids (sigh).
