Newsflash, gonna be way more than 325 families and pilots affected, this could end up displacing 700-800 pilots.
Example- A junior Chicago Captain who can’t hold ORD anymore but can hold DTW will bump a DTW Captain out of DTW. And the Detroit Captain could then elect to head down to Dallas which would bump an additional Captain out of DFW. And the Dallas guy decides to go to Vegas for the easier commute and takes a Vegas slot, which bumps a Vegas Captain over to MCO, which bumps a MCO Captain to FLL.
1 Displacment can effect 6-7 pilots.
325 Displacments is going to wreak havoc on every base and every seat.
Yes this! I’ll be interested in how many captains bid back to first officer in order to not commute. Plenty held off until they could hold captain in their base when they originally upgraded.
Lots of churn to come!
