So when the 8 goes away along with the Walmart greeter jobs it provides 50-60 guys (and leaves as an option for a couple hundred near 65's over the next few years)...AND all the Capt/FOs get displaced into the system:

1. How do the junior kids get out of ANC?

2. Is there an advantage of the MD vs the 400 for this? (considering the MD in SDF will be the most senior in the lower 48, I'm not sure the like-kind rule that the 75 has enjoyed will really matter)

My initial thoughts were that since the FE upgrade to FO route/advantage will be gone (only 2 transitions per vacancy then remainder go to upgrades) and the MD SDF will be so senior, as noted above, that it will boil down to system seniority and slowly (one by one with vacancies via growth and retirements) each 'kid' will be able to make their lateral move back to where they were a few years prior?

Any ideas?
