I'm kind of surprised that no one has done the math on the lack of growth that this email details. Accounting for the reductions of captains on the Airbus side, we have a total growth of 11 Captains for the next year. For the 7 guys who were downgraded from the effective May to effective October bid this may help. Since they could get their captain bid back effective November. As long as no one senior to them bids for a captain position of course.
