Well someone else predicted 20 because guys were "falling all over themselves" to fly the guppy, despite ZERO pilots on the SEA displacement jumping to the guppy and 6 of 90 pilots on this displacement.
So make fun of me, but my prediction for the displacement so far is very accurate.

So you are providing frequent updates to counter a claim on an internet board by individual whom you don't know? And you find it a point of pride to predict how few jumbo guys will bid guppy capt? The NFL playoffs start in two days; just saying. Back to the Sugar Bowl...
Someone else: It will be 20 because United guys are falling over themselves to be Captains on the guppy.
Reality: Its 6 guys that have selected guppy Captain.
Proof: Pilots would rather fly big airplanes. 90 of them can go ANYWHERE they want and only 6 going to the little guppy.
Pilots would rather fly widebody FO than guppy Captain as proven by these 90 pilots. It's overwhelming.

Gee Staller (oops I mean Carols Danger) that says it all. I wish you good luck finding that flying Delorean so you can go back to Aug 30th, 2013 and change the future. I'm overwhelmed by your dedication to an already settled issue. I doubt the National Championship game will be any near as conclusive as the close of the 747 LAX Displacement bid.

Why do these pilots chose WB F/O over guppy captain?
First if you can figure it out and bottle it you might make some money.
However, my bets are on these:
1. They actually like traveling to foreign ports over layovers in DSM, IAH, IAD,...
2. They really don't like the cockpit on the guppy.
3. They have "friends" in foreign lands.
4. They like the old captains.
The best part is people have a choice about where they liv, what they fly and what kind of lifestyle they can choose. It doesn't get much better than that.

Can someone explain why the snapshot today shows a LCAL pilot being displaced out of DEN guppy Captain to LAX 787 FO? There are 2 guys now going to guppy Captain in DEN, so it looks like that caused a displacement out of DEN and that pilot is going to 787 FO LAX.
Maybe it is a mistake, but it looks like he got displaced because of the two guys coming in.
I'm just not sure what the new rules are.

2) Don't want to change the SLI. It isn't perfect and I think the arbitrators made some mistakes but I can live with it.
3) What does this have to do with War Eagle winning it all?
