Further number crunching below in blue...
FO over-60 bidders – 43 (Between 63-64 as of June 15, 2009) - 7 & between 64-65 - 5
FE over-60 bidders – 40 (Between 63-64 as of June 15, 2009) - 13 & between 64-65 - 6
Five of the FE's turn 65 after the effective date (June 15) but before the end of the year. UPS hasn't disclosed what the bypass age is going to be, other than "Crewmembers that will be between the ages of 63 and 65, contractual bypass-able age, by the effective date of this bid, will probably be trained for any bid awarded." We'll have to wait to see what they do, I guess.
There are about a dozen of the over-60 FO and FE bidders on medicals. UPS has been awarding them vacancies, but not all bid. Occasionally UPS reawards a vacancy if the medical is not predicted to come back, but not usually. We'll have to wait and see on those, also.
With 57 original FO vacancies, and the recurring FO vacancies that result from the 46 original CPT vacancies, there will close to 100 FO total vacancies.
But then, two weeks later, comes the Displacement Bid award....

Sometime this afternoon. If you go on the CMS under View Bid Summary, you can usually tell ahead of the PDF file what the awards are. However, today when you do that, some people have been awarded something, yet many FE's have not. So, there is something still going on behind the scenes. Hang in there!

Well, I guess I am going to the MD11, for right now. I had my bids in for a while. I really didn't think that I would get a vacancy in the realignment part. There seemed to be to many senior folks moving around and taking the available vacancies. But, as of right now, I am holding SDF MD11. Once the displacement bid closes, I believe I'll still be on the airplane, but will have been knocked down quite a bit. And if I get pushed out the bottom again, that's fine. I'll be training on something. 
As for any seat locks, there was a good chance that any upcoming vacancies on future bids would not have allowed me to move anyway for 2 years. Ahhh, the joys of being junior.

Exactly! There is still a lot of shuffling to happen. The final bid is going to be quite different from this one. I still personally feel that we won't furlough, but it'll be close. The next 3-6 months will be telling.

Shaggy,
Just so you know, I and some others who are not in the bottom 200 have DC8 FE over ANC. So if it gets to me, I will be a plumber vice ANC.
