I expect we'll see more bumps in DEN as some of the CAs bid the Bus and Guppy, not to mention all the FOs bidding left seat on the Guppy.
I personally wish people would stop the Blue vs Black crap at this point. We're going to be beginning section 6 openers soon and we need to be one pilot group. Displacements happen, it sucks for those who are affected but it's a fact that everyone must learn to deal with if they make a career out of flying especially if they bid the very top end of what they can hold. Both sides are feeling the pain. It's time for everyone to accept the fact that the enemy is not each other, it's management.
One look at the ALPA committees especially, the leadership of those committees and how unbalanced they are shows how deep this divide goes.
