Hi all. With the recent uptick in NB A postings, I'm curious if it'd be a fools errand for a junior pilot (~14,200 seniority range) to have a bid in for DTW 717a. What's the probability that we see mandatory displacements in the next year or two? The projected staffing is showing a 13.4% decrease in DTW 717a between now and August, yet, they're still posting new positions.. Is this normal behavior for a shrinking category? Would Delta typically give notice prior to a major MD, or do they typically hold their cards close to the chest in these situations? I've heard the "2030" figure thrown around as a 717 retirement date, but nothing in regards to the DTW base specifically.. The delays in new Wi-Fi/LPV, and ongoing wing spar inspections, don't give me the warm and fuzzies either..


Obviously this is conjecture, and "BWYWWWYB", but I'm curious if anyone had any insight for us junior folks with bids in. Thank you!
