"Shocking that the 73 guys would pass a rumor of more 73s."
Kind of reminds me of past rumors:
1. They are going to "glass" the 727 and keep them flying, the glass instruments were said to be sitting in a hangar in ATL.
2. The L-1011 is going to be used for a new Delta cargo operation.
3. The MD-11 is going to be used for a new Delta cargo operation.
4. They are going to put "Boeing NG "glass" into the 757/767, the vendor has already been chosen.
5. They are going to reopen DFW as a hub and base the A220 and 73N as a Latin America hub.
I'm sure there are more...but "UNTIL it is a REAL thing, it ain't a thing at all".

SLC220A just went to a guy just past his fifth anniversary. I assume as these mega AE's continue, that will just keep falling. If that's the case, I and a lot of other guys will still solidly be in our 30's when we're able to upgrade. Heck, there will be some captains still in their 20's soon.
I don't know what that means for WB captains, but I imagine it won't be too long before we see some in their 30's.

A 25 year old hired in March of ‘14 will have a career like few have had in recent memory. If they wanted it they could’ve held NYC 88a around 1.5 years into their career, Detroit or Atlanta just a year later and they would not have been displaced if they were on the 717 or ATL88. They will be 50% in the company by 2022 and probably WB captains by the age of 35. Assuming no change in the retirement age, no change in 2 pilot operations, and good health that’s 30 years flying in the left seat of a WB. Pretty damned impressive.

Be the right age, at the right time, in the right place--my advice to people thinking about starting an airline career.
