Good riddance MB. He's gone in Aug anyway.However if he is gone in AUG then shouldn't he have RET next to his name? That should mean that another CA should have been awarded a spot.
With an OCT effective date he should be considered inactive.....

Remember those retirement timeframes are sometimes 6 months, so every month the same pilots keep showing up. So its possible they were already covered on a previous bid, or because of training/overstaffing they wait until a later bid.
It doesn't mean that those pilots are being replaced with this vacancy.
The last 4 bids have 371 "retirements thru xx/xx" and there is no way we have 371 retirements in 6 months. 3 of them show the exact same retirement numbers because they are all in the same quarter. So they are just showing the same retirements as they showed on the last bid.
They aren't cumulative.
Only the MIN/MAX apply for that bid.

I think the more pertinent question is "if they were replaced on a previous bid, why still show them"? I don't know. But they aren't removing them for the next bid on a 1-for-1 as they retire.

Svergin I'm not sure we are on the same page. I see what you are saying but I'm talking about the CAs awarded DCA 787, not system wide.

The old contract used to have the age 59 bypass (changed to the age 64 bypass), but I can't find similar language in the new agreement??

I'm actually surprised that more didn't jump. There's a fair amount of "buyers remorse" in the left seat of the crap7.
Take a gander at the seniority numbers of the top third of the F/O's in the 747 / 777, and to a lesser extent - but no less revealing, the 767. It's an eye-opener.
