Disregard. There are plenty of -8 FO slots available.

There are still around 40 727 Captains to be displaced. The trickle down effect will force the junior cpts back to F/O. It always looks like this after a realignment bid. So, knock the 40 most junior cpts off the list right now to get a look at who will remain the most junior cpt.

A quick peruse of the Bid Summary page reveals.....
...that about half of the 727 folks haven't yet placed their bid, but those who have on the CAPT side it looks like the classics rule...DC-8 and 747 SDF, they've gotten spoiled with the F/E walkarounds! There are also several SDF 757s and A300s plus an occasional MD or even 757 MIA thrown in for fun as a first choice.
For the F/Os, looks like mostly A300 and 757 SDF and everything else but like the CAPTs, looks like no one put ANC as their first choice. This one's going to be interesting to see...it'll probably change several times within the next 2 weeks!
