The deposits were paid and the sUAL orders are still on Airbus' official order page, so yes, let's play the game about expectations, retirements, and firm aircraft orders as I'm sure you would receive plenty of support from sUAL pilots.

HOUSTON, Feb. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Continental Airlines (NYSE: CAL) today announced that it has added 27 aircraft to its firm order positions at Boeing, including eight new 777 and 19 new Next-Generation 737 (737NG) aircraft. The aircraft orders give Continental the flexibility to replace less efficient airplanes and to pursue growth opportunities. This new order brings Continental's total firm commitments to 111 new Boeing aircraft (25 Boeing 787s, eight Boeing 777s and 78 Boeing 737s) for delivery over the next six years. In addition, Continental has options to purchase a total of 102 additional Boeing aircraft. Continental has taken delivery of five 737NG aircraft this year and plans to take delivery of 27 additional 737NG aircraft by the end of 2008.

SEATTLE, Jan. 14, 2008 -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] and Continental Airlines [NYSE:CAL] today celebrated the delivery of the airline's first Next-Generation 737-900ER (Extended Range) airplane. With this delivery, Continental becomes the first airline in the Americas to operate the 737-900ER, a higher-capacity, longer-range derivative and newest member of the Next-Generation 737 airplane family.
Continental was the first airline in the Americas to order the 737-900ER and currently has 26 more on order. Continental this year expects to take delivery of an average of two-to-three new Next-Generation 737s per month, which includes a mix of 737-900ERs and 737-800s. The airplanes are part of Continental's comprehensive fleet strategy, which focuses on improving operational efficiency and customer comfort.

Snapshot results?
I thought a snapshot was going to be published on the 29th. Anybody find anything? Last time it was on the e-bulletin board link on the flight ops site. Nothing today...

I'm simply referencing deliveries during 2013/2014 that should be driving the current "expectations" and mainline growth, if any, that's driving current staffing requirements.

This makes me believe you did not get the gist of my post. The 757s will be parked and hundreds of pilots will get displacement bids. These pilots can then pick (like kids in a candy store) any base/fleet/seat where 1 pilot is junior to them. No vacancy needed. Secondary and tertiary displacement bids may follow at the companies discretion. For example, if too many pilots bump into DEN 737 CAP, creating a surplus, then a secondary displacement bid may be issued for DEN 737 CAP. It gets messy. Sect. 8-E-7/8/9 will explain the process if you don't get it. I am going to go out on a limb and say 1978-1990 hires will be senior to the 2005/2006 Caps on this latest system bid. But you never know.

yet here you are delighting in the what may be a far worse fate (no one would have been displaced from SFO) for DEN pilots.
