great scoop, FlyByCable... thanks for the heads up. It makes sense what the company is about to do, quite frankly.

Realignments/Displacements
14 MD-11 Capt SDF
9 747 Capt SDF
8 757Z Capt
10 757 ONT Capt
4 DC-8 Capt
Vacancies
20 747 ANC Capt
However, the prediction about cancelling the Displacement portion doesn't sound right. There should be very few, if any, under 60 guys with the seniority to outbid the over-60 guys for the ANC captains, at least, who haven't already gone there. Thus, there would be very few, if any, recurring captain vacancies.
Why does it say "Banned" under FlyByCable's name?
