I'm curious of the same... Has to be new routes, etc more than doubling the staffing in the LAX 777 category... Anybody have intel on this one?

Someone did mention something about Auckland to me, but no idea of where that person got the info from.

Big part of it will be getting rid of ATL/DTW deadheads into LA. LAX 777 category isn't nearly big enough to do the three cities they do now (SYD, PVG, and HND).

Which means you can expect limited backfills for contingent vacancies on the ATL/DTW 777.

Ok I'll split the difference for a bet. 2011 at the most junior when it's said and done but only on the M88. The 320, 73N and 7ER will not be touched under 10 years.

SEA is also planned for additional 777 departures.

AE question: say I have 777, 765, 330, and 7ERB then m88A, in that order. The system stops when it awards one and quits looking downstream correct? It wouldn't award the M88A slot if a previous B was attainable before it?

So here's an interesting N v S take. I've heard from several asking "what's on your card?" My response: "Nothing, I'm happy where I'm at."

There is no need to fill a card. (order all of your positions desired) Some past AEs have resulted in unintended awards because they thought they had to have something in. That's not true. You can have as many or as few (0) preferences as you like.

Wont the 150 slots in ATL be filled mainly by guys being displaced from NYC and CVG? In reality, there may not be many open slots once the displacements occur.

The system loops through multiple times to check if a selection you have becomes available as a secondary bid. Your highest choice bid that meets any qualifications you insert is what you should be awarded. That is why processing a bid is not as simple as some might think. Each bid award can impact prior awards.
