I didn't mention any bumps from SFO 777 only IAH 777. In fact I think SFO 777 is understaffed in both seats especially in the FO seat and we should see a vacancy bid in both seats.

LAX SIN has been more than covered by the displacements, Don't forget about the LAX 777 displacement we had. Again that is why there will be no displacements in those seats, IF the company decides to absorb the 787 CAs that bump down to LAX from SFO. If the company does NOT want to absorb those CAs then they will bump to even out the seniority between SFO and LAX.

The 5 787-9s are already spoken for and they won't be in SFO. LAX - SIN needs 3 airplanes. DCA - PEK needs 2.5. DCA-GRU will come from IAH-EZE. AKL will come form XIY and MUC. KIX and HND are going back to the 777 so one of those can fly DEN-LHR.

The wild card will be what base flies DEN-NRT and DEN-LHR? LAX or SFO? Also the 777-300 is supposed to start SYD......where is that plane going to go? Will it stay in SFO or go to DCA for another route? Either way SFO is NOT going to grow but if DEN- NRT and LHR go to SFO then I would say there is no need to displace FOs.....but there are WAY to many CAs on the 787 in SFO.
I'm guessing the overstaffed base (SFO) will fly DEN-NRT and DEN-LHR.

Unless they open a DEN base, then all the DEN Captains and FOs who are already commuting to SFO, will just go back to DEN, and that would solve a lot of overstaffing problems.
