It's very funny how this has changed culturally within the L-CAL ranks amongst the pilots with whom I fly. Prior to integration I think the trend was to take a 737 CAP position over a 777 FO, and now zero 777 FOs with whom I fly would trade their seat for a 737 CAP seat.
I think that number will be VERY small henceforth.

At the same time, about 2 months ago, I had heard the 350 was actually going to happen and that it would be around 100 jets with options, which turned out to be true.

The current junior Cap out in SFO is 9269 after the most recent vacancy. Figure there will be 150ish retirements in the next 4 months and that should also be about how long it takes to run the vacancy bids for next summer's flying.
So, by then the current junior guy would be about 9100. If the rumor comes true about the used planes, and more importantly, a good number are going to actually be in use by next summer, then I think somewhere between 10k and 10.5k for the junior Captain bid is possible.
Hopefully next week we will get some info on all these rumors.

I am hoping the proverbial 'counting of chickens before they are hatched' hasn't happened here.
The likely sources of Airbusiums was/is Air Berlin, and Monarch.
Lufthansa bought all 72 Air Berlin buses three days ago for €210 million.
Monarch has 9 320s and 25 321s. Not sure if 321s makes it a more or less appealing deal.
As to 767 rumors: my sources say they were looked at (in person), but no word if they will be acquired.

There are currently 17 319s that are still scheduled to enter service. Ordering 40 more for a total of 57 would be a nice growth bump.

UALforLIFE's post flew in under the radar. That website has been 100% correct so far and it already shows a start of 17 used A319s coming in 2018 which UAL has not announced officially so I think it's a safe bet on the Airbus rumor. Brings the tally to an impressive number:
30 Airbus
4 777
4 787
crews:
340 Airbus
180 WB
total about 520 slots plus retirements 380? = 900 to be hired in 12 months minimum. I see junior captain going VERY junior in EWR and/or SFO.
