This could get messy. I had a feeling a few months back when they did the SB in July that the reason they were waiting to move people was that this one was coming. No point in paying moving expenses when they were just going to do a major reshuffle a few months down the road.

You seem to forget they have 12 months to implement the staffing bid. I don't think any DEC's will actually see the right seat, possible but doubt it. I believe DP is pretty smart and will keep his DEC's and award some upgrades to give hope and fill a few CA slots. Then when Silver starts growing again they will upgrade as appropriate and the seniority list will work itself out over the next 12 months or so.

Yea you can get fired for that kind of sh!t around here... But I do agree with the man... Everything north of GNV will become like a normal airline over the next 8-12 months. FL will always be full of lifers. But, all the junior DECs are already starting to bail, and will create CA vacancies for the middle level FOs to upgrade. The white elephant in the room-- you can't become a captain if you have no one to be your FO.

I only know of a few who've left in the last 6 months out of the dozens there.

Probably because you don't work here anymore... I know of 5 or 6 in the IAD system alone that have left within the past month or are in the process of leaving
