Top 50 on the 727 is just fine with me too. I'll miss the Valsans, but there should be enough flying left over to find something to make me happy if I stay on the Boeing. For guys who did not upgrade at 100%, excess bids are a chance for a "do over". The guys who suffer the most are the ones who are just hanging on at the bottom of a list somewhere.
There are some DC10 FOs who could hold 727 captain. It will be interesting to see what happens there....
