Having a look at the latest seniority list published today - which takes into account the awarded positions of the last system bid - there are still about 100 over age 60 FEs on the DC-8.
Is it safe to assume that the vast majority, if not all vacancies and recurring vacancies will go to over 60 folks? This should result in the FE list being shortened as there are not displacements associated with this round.
