Fellas, it's been a little quiet lately. This isn't flamebait, but stuff I've been hearing from multiple sources over the past couple of weeks. Feel free to shoot it down...
1) Between 12-20 Boeing 727s coming out of the desert ASAP.
2) 5 MDs coming out of the desert.
3) No upcoming excess on the Bus, looking at identing tails that could come out of the desert.
4) Large bid in the next month or so, in conjunction with the business plan being finalized.
5) HKG MD will be in the bid with 50-75 captains and fo slots.
6) Sweetened LOA to be negotiated in order to prevent the situation of nobody bidding it, so as not to repeat the Airbus not going fully filled for 2 years.
7) Flag ops classes and testing going on in June, fully Flag by the end of the summer.
8) Flag ops will cause huge numbers of holes to be filled on widebody international flying. One number I heard is 350 slots needed on the MD alone, due to increased rest requirements.
8) 4a2b gone in June.
9) Vacation buyback starts in July.
10) Hiring prior to Peak.
Feel free to chime in/discuss/whatever.

The junior guys are simply "exercising their seniority rights" after getting bumped out of their captain seats by the over-60 guys. The union has told the junior guys to "get over it" (age-60 rule), so okay, they're over it. Now the union/senior-guy lobby needs to "get over it" with junior guys flying draft.
