Latest statements I've heard from "mgmt" is 727 is "currently" "properly manned"....but yes it will be in a continual state of "overmanning" as that fleet draws down over the next 6-7 years, but then again there should be 757 vacancy bids over the same time period as that jet ramps up.

....or they fill the 757 with excessed WB Capts and FOs looking to stay in MEM.
