They really have to "freeze" anyone from taking new FO positions on the 756 until they fully get it all as one equipment type. Too much training, staffing, re-training, re-staffing going on for them to put new guys on the jet. Once they get it staffed, they may take a look at it, but they may be overstaffed for the next 2 bids is what I am hearing, but that isn't enough to displace anyone. They just need to combine the 76T and 756 and get it done.
