This particular bid definitely sub 9000. Heck you see many already sub 8500. I think the later bids will be around 9000 and less for all bases and optimistically in SFO go to 9500 tops, but that's a stretch too. But for "Master of Puppets" to think Airbus to 10500, is smoking crack.
10 - 737 max
17 - 319 from china
4 - 787 9
3 - 787 10
4 - 777 3
57-67 narrowbody
11 widebody
Still thinking 9000 (9500 in sfo) is the magic number for narrowbody CA IF we announce those 30-40 more planes?

I'll tell you directly from my Delta buds. The MD starts early and has super long duty days with 4 or more legs. Noncommutable and it's a dinosaur of an airplane. This is much different than our UAL NB's. Proofs in the pudding bud. Just look at how senior these CAP slots are going for and will be by end of this vacancy. Not trying to be pessimistic, just realistic. To throw out a DAL mad dog CAP seniority was asinine.

Do you have any reason why the the MD went so junior in ATL?!!!

Our narrow bodies start super early, have long duty days, and are non commutable on both ends. But they sure are shiny jets and they feed us real nice.

I stated it could drop to 10,500 IF we get 30-40 airbuses next year and that the 10,500 number would be hit after the final bid for summer.
Well see what happens but this time last year (16-11V) CA on the 737 in SFO went 9600. 900 numbers at an airline this big is not unquestionable, especially if we grow by 60-70 airframes in a 12 month period.

A large chunk of pilots hired between 90-97 have fairly comfortable seniority as a narrow body Captain since recent bids have gone junior.
I would also guess that their age is playing a factor in the decision as retirement looms in the next decade. In the same thought, many have remained an FO for family commitments. The empty nest provides a lot of freedom.
