757 Fleet Question
With 30+ 757's going away sometime after the summer schedule, does anybody have an idea of which 757 bases are going to lose the majority of the the 757 flying? Seems crazy that they are running so many people through 757 training just to shrink the fleet. Thanks.

Eh doubt that will happen. I know you wish bad things on CAL guys but they will likely slowly reduce bases and add vacancies to minimize displacements and training events, with the large number of retirements coming most movement will be upward. Don't be hating on another guy just because he got hired in a better place at a better time, move forward.

Not wishing bad on anyone. The facts are that EVERY 76T FO in Den can bump into Den 737 Cap if they choose. Of course so can all of the 76T Den Captains. Thats about 170 pilots. My guess is 75% will bump into 737 Cap in Den. Then the CO will have to choose to grow the Den 737 Base to over 225 pilots in each seat or issue a secondary bump. If they choose to keep the Den 737 at current levels, this will flush out the junior Captains and many of the junior guys that just bumped into that category. Interesting times ahead.

Xactly. It's not about wishing bad on people. It's numbers. There are 170 Denver 76T (UAL757) pilots. ALL can hold Denver 737 CAP. IF, and I emphasize IF, the company is really parking all those 757s, where oh where do those 170 pilots go? The company has already thinned the heard by delaying the displacements and providing system wide vacancies. That ship has sailed. Time to bump. Hopefully the Denver 737 base will grow THAT much, time will tell.
