You are correct. According to every company publication I’ve read the next AE will hold a significant amount of widebody A positions. Which will cause a lot of other positions to be vacated. Which will result in a rather large AE.

But sailingfun is probably just finishing his pumpkin pie to take over to Ed’s house for thanksgiving. So make sure to let us know what Ed says tonight sailing.

My guess is 40 330 CA’s on this bid and 10 more 350 CA’s on the low end and 70 and 15 on the high end. Still a lot smaller than the 140 CA’s on the last bid.

I hope everyone understands that the planned Jan AE is still a cleanup bid from the big bid last year. I don’t think it will be near as big as the Nov bid but weighted to widebody positions.

i think you are right, but i also think even if a smaller bid and it has more widebody vacancies it will create more movement than the nov bid.

There will be additional movement for the senior guys, less for the junior guys.
