The "bumpees" go where they can hold a seat, thus bumping out the junior folks and on and on till the break of dawn.......as the song goes.
Can you imagine how many training cycles that would create... right now there will be no 11 Capt seats opening on any bid that comes out... so no one is getting bumped... in HKG and CDG maybe a few on the 757 and 300.. that leaves the right seat for the ND's to go to at the FDA's, it's a foot back in the front seat.. and they dont' have to plumb or Horror of Horrors... retire.
