Default LAX 747 displacements

December 17, 2013

Dear LAX 747 Captains and First Officers,

We previously announced that we plan to fly our LAX SYD route with 777 aircraft. As a result, we are closing the 747 base effective with the April flying month. We will displace all (20) 747 Captains and all (55) 747 First Officers out of the Los Angeles domicile effective April 1, 2014. Because the L-UAL 747 fleet is being phased out of Los Angeles, each pilot will utilize their own pilot seniority number in the displacement process. Under the provision of Section 8-E of the Agreement, this letter constitutes formal notice to all (20) 747 Captains and all (55) 747 First Officers on the attached list that their assignments are discontinued, and they are displaced effective April 1, 2014. The pilots listed on the attached sheet are required to submit displacement bids in CCS, using the procedures below by 1200 Chicago time, January 6, 2014. Training assignments may begin as early as February 2014.

Since all the 747 FOs can hold Guppy Captain by about 4,000 seniority numbers in LAX I wonder how many of the 55 will bid that.

I'm sure a bunch will just go to SFO and fly the 747 out of there. But I think we see about 4 or 5 bump to the Guppy left seat since they will be senior lineholders.

I bet AT LEAST half of them bump to 737 Captain. 70% is my gut feeling

Seems like a lot more than 5 will want to assume their rightful place.

No you guys don't get how good the LAX SYD trip is, I guarantee you many will bid the 777 right seat just to chase it.

We were told that the company wouldn't bump any of them, remember?

Another wrong prediction.

Then that base will be overstaffed, and they will bump, etc.

Anybody on the property for more than 12 years has seen this movie, twice. People will bump to different things for different reasons. Some will try to get a couple of bumps out of it.
