Money has a funny way of making people do stupid things. An empty or soon-to-be empty nest can do the same thing. I don't have the tables handy, but the pay jump 717A or 73NA probably isn't insignificant.

Do you think there will be a lot of JR A's on this bid? I was more wondering how many junior widebody B's were going to get shoved out of their seats. I guess it's all perspective from where you're sitting. Getting the popcorn ready...

150 new 88A's in ATL? My guess is it goes as junior as '16 hires. Curious to see how junior the 777 & 7ER goes in LAX. Last bid had A's in the ~7400 range.

I wonder how many really junior 717As get displaced back to being an FO when a bunch of 88 guys move over.

So if displaced, do they award the training assignments to AEs, then displacement awards into the category, before kicking you off the category? How does that work? Sorry if it's already been answered!

What's causing all the new ATL captains? Increased block hours from another base?

My guess would be the closure of 88 CVG & NYC categories.
