Then someone else will name the number of positions. Then someone else will say someone will be a wide body captain that was hired within last 4 years and then tell us this summers weather prediction.

Currently we have 864 Wide body Captains. (765, A330, A350). At the pre covid peak we had 1100. 251 of that number were on the 777. 1100- 251=850 remaining positions. There are however some VEOP captains not released yet that will create some vacancies plus new airframes. I would not expect large bid on the widebody CA side. Wild guess 100 to 150. Really depends on how many remaining VEOP pilots.
