Not sure if that is really the case now. There are no 145 vacancies currently on the bid. Until the bid is run, no way to know if they will create any with backfills. Right now it looks like they won’t. According to the union numbers, if exactly 30 percent of the vacancies are filled from current 145 captains and every single eligible FO upgrades to 175, then there is no need for 145 captains.
If they can get bodies through the door and to stay and able to upgrade, they might keep the 145 around a bit longer.
Just alike a Gallagher show: It’s going to be fun to watch, but very messy and you might end up getting so of it on you.
