So now that peak is history how long do you think it will take the company to announce something?

I would say after FedEx announces their furlough, UPS will follow within a few weeks or months.

...Manpower Planning has been talking about a Realignment Bid in February or March for quite some time. That timeframe has been given because the schoolhouse for the MD11 and 757 is full until March. My bet/hope is for an early February (Monday, February 2) bid, as that will allow the necessary lead time to pick up training in the 757 and MD11 fleets in March at first opportunity. (The last scheduled MD11 class begins in early February, and a 30 March 757 class is only about half full, by my records from the last training bid award.) Hopefully, someone will get an update from Manpower Planning before too much longer.
Looking at the CPT manning in PP3, it seems to me the A300 is very short, with average line credit over 79 hours. Only about 12% reserve coverage, before VTO additions. Only 3 A300 pilots in training. SDFZ appears to be fairly tight, with average line credit of 81.5, many lines above 85 up to 89+, and 20% reserve coverage. These are just CPT numbers, didn't do the FO math.
Most of the school houses are wide open, considering the 6-week lead time from Realignment bid to training class start date. By my count from the last LTT award, the 757 has classes totaling 41 in Jan, Feb, and March. They have 7 openings in their March 30 class, I think. The MD11 has 29 starting in Jan and Feb.
I think it is just a matter of figuring out how deep to cut the DC8 that is holding things up.

Hope they don't cut the 8's too soon. I heard all of the extra late hots last night got launched. They still need the 8's!

I "heard" ONT will displace around 20 CA, and a Vacancy for ANC 747. Numbers unknown.
SDF Haven't heard anything. Most likely a displacement off the DC8, all seats.
Feb. Time line.

I "heard" 25 CAs and 25 FOs might be displaced out of ONT... but I heard that several weeks ago so things could/will change...

25 would take the Junior CA numbers down to Early 1995 hire in ONT. I assume most would then bump CA's in SDF. If they could, the top 15 of the displacements.
Then if they displace off the 8, it's going to get ugly. Junior CA will be a 1994 hire soon, except ANC.
15 years, wow.
