He's just posting AE vacancies and not offsetting it with the early outs and "real" retirements.. Just a talking point regurgitation. Most of the CAs that I flew with on the 767 that displaced to wide FO have not made it back to like position.

I actually in the original post added in retirements. What is even more remarkable about the numbers is that the growth really did not begin until last October as it was always scheduled. Consider what that means for the next 18 months.

Hey guys, has anyone moved across the country lately? We are moving from ATL to the west coast this summer and I want to know my options. Full service? Rent truck? Ship cars? Etc... PM me with costs and how you did it if anyone has recent experience with this.

Thanks

747 Seat reconfiguration

This September, the 747 upper deck seats will be removed and replaced with 60 Comfort Econ seats. Mods to be quick and all air frames done inside four months, or so they say. Crews coming out of the bunk, trying to use the biffy before going up front are going to cause a small riot! Total seating to be in the 430 range!

Forget non-reving in FC anymore...

And yet you just got finished stating that you accounted for retirements in said number... (facepalm) I'll let you figure out your faux pas.

Definitely feeling it here. QOL through bidding options, pay and time off have increased dramatically. I know we have had our disagreements in the past but things are, finally, moving along nicely.
^ getting out of the bottom 2-3% has been huge.

My post back then.

"""Well I tried to post the numbers but can't make it format. Essentially however we had 231 CA displacements since contract 2012 was signed. We have had 761 CA awards in that time frame for a net of 530 new awards. I don't know the exact retirement numbers however about 160 Working CA's went out on the ER program and I am guessing at about 100 additional retirements. That still leaves a gain of 270 Captains while overall block hours are almost flat. Pretty remarkable in light of the massive job loss from the contract."""

I have also stated that the Numbers I quoted were what has been added via the AE process. I assumed most pilots at Delta understand what the number represent . Perhaps some don't!
