I just quickly looked it over, looked like the bottom 717A was number 6901?
Lots of M's there! (Mandatory disp).
Anyone got a DOH for that number?
And the most junior number I saw, was CVG MD88B, about 117xx or so, which was junior to the 717 plug I believe.
There were also 5 ATL 767A's who displaced up, to the ATL 777, one was senior to me, so I only moved backwards one number, I think...coulda' been a lot worse, there were several 777A's bumped off.

Unscientific quick count. 43 Capts and 43 FOs displaced to 717.
31 Capts overall were from the 88 and 60 FOs from the 88. I wonder if the powers to be are happy with those numbers?

This is why I stopped sitting in the flight attendant jumpseat so a DCI pilot can sit in my reserved jumpseat. No hard feelings. I have showed up to an earlier Delta flight numerous times right at 15 minutes to have found out a DCI pilot has the jumpseat, then watched the flight leave full with me at the gate. A couple times, the pilot had not even boarded yet. I was told, "no hard feelings" just like you were. Now, I just laugh when they ask me to inconvenience myself so they can get on. I treat jumpseaters on my flights very well, but the days of inconveniencing myself are over.

Overall, it looks like the AE wasn't as bad as I was expecting.
A lot of guys made elective choices that opened up opportunities down the food chain. I was surprised how junior ATL7ER went given the entire 767 category closed.
I count 107 717B's. Didn't the bid say they wanted 145 in each seat?
Bring on the hiring!

Just shows how stagnant everybody is feeling I guess.
I have been wronged commuting too...it stinks,but oh well. It is the right of the dci company pilots to get on their metal. Fwiw, swa has been the most accommodating since jblu is no longer an option. Both are easier than dal/ dci in my experience.
