I think your numbers reflect just awards/displacements without factoring retirements and therefore are not net Captains.
Edit: OK, just saw your explanation. Still net positive.

Didn't they just do a complete cabin modification last year or so?
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...

I've been precisely one year away from a good deal my entire life.
Has anything changed?

I've been going to CR for a few years. ATL to LIR is about 3.5 hrs. Never had to sweat getting on, sometimes even in first. Pay $50 a month for a property manager to take care of your place when you are gone or need cleaners/pool boys/lawn care...it beats trying to figure out the hire help laws (there are some and they can be complicated). Don't look for land ON the beach, there are no private land ON the beach. You could have Rastafarians camping in front of your house, its public land up to 200 feet from the water. I have had no problems except for a police officer wanting to see a copy of my passport once while I was 2 hours away from my condo...its in the car now.

C-2015 Management Talking Points
Guys,
This is just my personal opinion but it is based on hearing something very similar on three separate occasions - all from people in leadership positions at DAL.
Productivity: Management is putting out that we are dead last in Pilot Productivity. This is total BS. It is pure BS because they are picking their metric to define productivity, which is block hours. Fact is we operate multiple fleets which require a lot of training - fleets which by the way let them maximize revenue which is far more important then block hours.
FACT - DAL pilots produce on average more annual revenue than Southwest Pilots.
Don’t fall for managements BS. If they decide to operate multiple fleets with numerous 30+ hour layovers that is on management not pilots.
Sick leave usage. DAL Pilots use more sick leave than other pilot groups. No shiit! Many other Pilot groups bank sick leave - we don’t. A nice Apples to Oranges comparison.
In my opinion Management will try to use the above as talking points in C-2015. I hope DALPA is ready with a quick response.
No more productivity concessions!
If you hear either of the above mentioned be sure to counter it.

Not to be outdone by Hannity and General Numbnuts on Fox, CNN ups the ante on the idiocy with regard to MH370:
