They will get the number down through attrition and vacancy process, if you ask me. There will be another 787 bid that will knock the number down, then throw in a couple guppy bids and they will be there.
6 months from now...I'm guessing 777 DCA : 80 CA / 150 FO and 787 DCA : 45 CA / 80 FO. In the aggregate...that's about what the 777 was at start of year.
