I'm saying the trickle down from a significant 787 Captain displacement would probably trigger increased overages in other BES's. Just a matter on if they're willing to eat the overages or not. They may just wait until DEN 756 is open before completely cleaning it up.

The current bid closes Thursday. What happens next according to your sources? Bid results Friday with a new Vacancy bid immediately following...or another Displacement bid?

So what happens if a displacee doesn't submit a bid? Still a few blanks, and I'm too lazy to try and find it in the contract.

There is some sort of priority list that would be used by the company. Sort of like a standing bid. Not sure exactly what it is, but assume it would most likely follow the training bands in the contract with staying in SFO the first priority.

But just a guess.

Probably a vacancy for various seats first followed by a cleanup displacement or two between now and the end of the year. They'll still need a few more folks in both seats SFO 777 because they're still short even after this displacement closes. They can fund it through a vacancy bid or 787 displacements. They might wait until the LAX 777 NPDM process is finished to start the cleanups.

Im pretty sure it is same base seat and pay status but how they decide between a 777 or a 787? I think they always keep you in the same base and seat and just go until they can't.

Starting DEN-LHR again with the 787 in the spring. DEN 787 base in the works?:D

So, don't bid, you get dumped into the matrix
