There was just an article in Aviation Week about the need to cut capacity in the next year in the domestic market by 20% for the airlines to become profitable. They are speculating that needs to happen in the 50 seat market. So this may start happening a little more often. Don't get too comfortable anyone. If you're flying larger acft (70+ seats), or turboprops, you have less to worry about. Can we bring back regulation?

hadn't heard anything about it myself...Seems like it's going to take more than bidding FO lines, as you'll have to go back through and take another PC to be an FO again.....But, i'm sure i'm close to the bottom 22 captains, atleast in STL...is this a RIC thing, or a STL thing?

downgrades start from the oct '06 class
Oh and also, yes, you have to go back and get right seat qual'd, then rebid as captain when they start upgrading again. After they do that, you come back and take a PC for captain

If that's the case, it'll miss me, but i'm going to be at the very very bottom of a seniority list for a while...was a sept. 06 new hire....hopefully they don't jump and put more guys back in that seat...again....best of luck bud.
