777-300 7100 cu.ft. 20 LD3
747-8i 6,300 cu.ft. 18 LD3
A380 5,800 cu.ft. 16 LD1


The 777-300 already wins in capacity but excels after subtracting cargo capacity for passenger bags. After loading all pax bags the 777-300 has 5,200 cu.ft. remaining for gravy vs 3,000 cu.ft. for the A380 and 3,800 cu.ft. for the 747-8i.

No matter how you try to play with the math, the average will not converge on 65, just like the previous average didn't converge on 60. It will be at least a year and probably 2 years early when the averages shake out (even without the early retirements).

I've moved up almost 700 numbers in seniority since the merger, and that is with zero projected retirements and about 300ish early outs.

If we hire it's not for the block plan as released. A new jet announcement that we would take delivery of in short order or the 757's stating would cha ge the 2013 block plan and possibly necessitate hiring.

With Flt ops announcing no AE until the end of the year it would be hard to hire or recall those on bypass until another AE was posted unless all pilots were going to the dc9 :eek:

It does make more sense to hire than to displace. I assume you would see an AE prior to hiring.

Ummm.. AAPL was deemed to have been damaged, hence the award TO AAPL, and the $11/share post market runup :) Monday will be epic.
