It's now conceivable, maybe likely, that no former Delta pilot will ever fly a 747. At least not left seat.

It sure ain't gonna' help!
I guess now we know why they haven't replaced the 17+ ATL 777 Capts. who have retired in the last 18mo. They'll have PLENTY 747 displacements coming in Jan, no doubt!
I wouldn't want to be the plug on it today, they are toast.

Well, now that all the reserves can be used up to ALV+15, why would they need to backfill anything?

"We have notified the Association of these developments, and look forward to engaging in a discussion on mitigating displacements. More detail about our overall Asia-Pacific strategy will be shared company-wide this week. Please stay tuned."
Might this mean offering an early retirement option...............................???
