Yep. The only thing is I think the vast majority are going to bid the 777 and 787. I don't think either fleet has the training capacity to train all those pilots in a timely manner. I wouldn't be surprised if 50-100 pilots sit around for 6-12 months waiting for training. Or take bump rights again.

I guess only the "other guy" is greedy. Greed is nothing more than economic self-interest. You probably worked hard to live in a nice home - that's economic self interest. When you save your extra money you make to send your kids to college or work an extra day to buy your wife a nice gift for her birthday - that's economic self interest. Some may call you greedy but you are working for economic self interest to make a better life for you and your family.

I said 115 in jest... I assumed it was a fairly obvious exaggeration for effect. Poking fun at the EWR 777 guy that said it was an unfair pay cut now that the union pulled the waiver for PBS line construction.
