Don't forget the 45 minute hub turns with an aircraft change.
I think we’ll see all ERs retired almost immediately. With the now under utilized 330, we just don’t need the ER lift. Boutique European destinations won’t be served for a couple of years, buying us time to rebuild international lift with a variety of Airbus products. 717s and 757s will see an accelerated sunset. The wild card is the 777, getting the ax if management enacts very deep cuts.
Well keep the 320s and 737-800s, with maybe tail-specific retirements.
I almost think they’ll have to open more 220 bases, just to carry the displacements. Cant have everyone sitting reserve in NYC! Ha!
I also think we’ll see the aircraft deliveries turned back on (220s, 321s, 330s) now that mgmt has had time to observe the landscape and figure out a plan. Will the 350s get turned back on, tho?

Don’t know of any other types, but 30% of 320s and 737s are being put in the long term storage.

My money is still on deep cuts to the ER.

They’ll convert to whatever their seniority can hold on the displacement bid. Who knows about timing, but they’ll get reserve guarantee until they go to training.

So if an 88 Capt gets a displacement bid to ATL330A then he will convert to the 330 payrate immediately after the displacement bid even if he doesn't go to training for months?

the short answer is no. This displacement will work just like an AE in that aspect. They will get that once past conversion date. I also may be wrong but you can call the union.

That brings it back to my original question of how do they pay 88 pilots the 88 payrate until they convert, when the 88 no longer exists? Some guys may not train for months, but they are still being paid for an aircraft that is no longer on the property. I'll call the union to see what they say..Thanks.
