I think you're right. And to add to that, I'm willing to be there will be some 787 volunteers that will be able to game the system by not getting into training on the 777 and get to use their own seniority (instead of volunteer seniority) to displace using 8-F-9 adding yet another wrench lol.

I assume that the IAH 787 folks will go first , as they will need the ORD 747 pilots to keep flying up until the end of December.

Going from 47 or 87 to the 777 does not require a full course. It's a differences course for both. Still gonna keep TK busy for a while that is true, and if history is any indicator some folks will be able to game the system and stay at home waiting for training for many months.
Personally I just want to get it over with and move on hopefully to growing the wide body fleet in 2018. I've got my eye on 756 CAP in EWR but over the last year I actually went backwards 2% on that list. I moved up over 20% on the 737 CAP list to just under 50% now, but those 756 Caps at the top are "dug in". Ah well . . . 20 years in the right seat . . . what's another year or two

Still amazes me how some guys get pleasure from watching the wake of a displacement affect their fellow pilots lives. I for one feel bad for the guys/gals getting displaced as a 5-6 week undesired training event is not what I'd consider to be fun. But hey "LOOK OUT BELOW"... bunch a dorks.

May be technically true from an FAA standpoint, but I don't believe that is the case here for us. All the 747 FOs that took the first bump and went to the 777, got a full course.

777->787 pilots were a short 2 week differences course.

From the beginning of the 787 design Boeing had a short course for differences between the 777 and 787. I believe I heard the min Boeing course is 3 days and I'm not sure how many sims. Boeing was trying to duplicate the 767/757 abilities for pilot staffing.
There never was a Boeing short differences course for 747, 777.
For regulatory purposes the airlines can equal or exceed the manufacturer's approved training and in UAL/CAL's case they exceed the min Boeing differences course.
