99 planes are being retired at a rate of 20-25 per year. 29 planes are slated to be converted from the 76T Fleet to the 756 Fleet including the PS 757s and the winglet equipped 2 class 767-300s.

I was just glancing through the detailed 1403v award to get an idea how many pilots would get bumped out of the 76T, and then I looked at the ORD 737 Capt list. Good God man. The ORD guppy captain was always the junior Capt slot, but nothing like it is right now. My current percentage there is higher than it will probably be in 15 years when I retire. 30ish percent.
Give it a couple years and it will be back to normal.

All other things being equal, those junior pilots are going to be junior for a very long time based on the recent vacancy awards. If they are okay with being on reserve, then good for them. This just means when guys get a chance to bid into those seats, they will be lineholders.
I think either way having one seniority list resolved the problem despite the out of seniority awards.
I still hope no one gets displaced out of a left seat, but it will be interesting as they draw down the 76T fleet and those pilots displace.

Hey Hoss ... Did the old, dead, almost didn't survive UAL have the option to force TDY assignments? The UCH UAL does ... and this UCH UAL does not like displacements ... they will avoid displacements by using any means (and loophole) available to them in the UPA; after that, they will violate the contract and win the ensuing grievance. NO BUMP NO FLUSH
Guess that "force TDY, avoid displacements" thing was BS, huh?
