On the LAX777 displacement, I was also surprised that it's after the vacancy bid. Especially since almost all of the LAX777 pilots are going to try to go to the LAX787. And there were 15 LAX 787 CAs and 35 LAX 787 FOs in this vacancy bid.
They may have done this to avoid excessive overstaffing on SFO 787, should any displaced LAX 777 pilots choose that instead of LAX787 or SFO777. SFO 787 CA and FO are being offered June COLA.
