According to the Head of 727 Standards, at last weeks meeting, flying will be down drastically in the 727 in January. Take it for what it worth. I think they have some 727's down from Canada or something like that because of ramp construction in Memphis.
He also apparently said 2014 was last weeks retirement date but it does change daily.
Plumbing was fun...whatever happens. Enjoy it! No seriously.

They will not put newhires into right seat 75 for at least a year or two, until the back seat is essentially flushed out. They are looking at passover issue and want to put that possibility off as long as possible...so, newhires, you'll be plumbing.
