Does any of this prognostication take into account 6 more 777-300s to be delivered or 5 more 787-9s to be delivered, most of which by February? Remember we aren't canceling any cities for WB flying, we are adding them. So the parking of 7 routes the 747 flew are just being picked up by other airplanes.

And before someone says we parked 24 747s planes, but only getting 18 777-300 replacements, keep in mind that the company only really used 17 of those planes to fly 7 routes. The others were just sitting around or used for parts because of reliability of the 747.

Its not like we parked the 747 fleet and canceled all that flying, which is what these estimates are based on. Regardless of what the 787 or 777 fleet look like today, those fleet have to absorb all that 747 flying.

Not to mention we haven't had a vacancy bid for the LAX-SIN flying, which I think requires 2 Caps and 2 FOs, does it not?

It seems like everyone is over-pessimistic about bumps on the west coast, except in IAH, which I totally agree is overstaffed.
