Just some facts that support the idea of no bumps.

1) May crew resources update: "IAH: We expect an increase in staffing of approximately 15 percent on each seat, due to additional flying in this hub. This will allow us to open more captain positions and continue to reduce overstaffing on the first officer seat."

2) IAH maintenance base: They need to keep the aircraft flowing in and out.

3) Training: They can not afford to lose bodies. With the fleet still growing and the training capacity shrinking during the training device relocations to DEN they will be limited on adding new 787 pilots.

4) Asset cost: Poor utilization on our highest costing asset in the enterprise will not happen. They will find a new location to send these airplanes.
