So, you’re gunna see some fleet and domicile shuffling with the captains and the 66 FOs upgrading. Probably won’t see too many actual displacements.
Summer bid will likely have the remaining 50ish vacancy slots for new hires as discussed above.
Not great news but not bad either.
SDF75, SDFZ, and MIA are also seeing FO displacements. Doesn’t necessarily make a lot of sense to me with more 76s coming, but nobody asked me. I think there are more dominoes yet to fall and the company is still hedging their bets.
