I will be surprised if the actual award goes below 4000 for ATL350A. The mock has no "training wheels" (😁 on it. And, I think they have pretty much accounted for most of the 350 deliveries. Retirements are the driving factor at this point.

I doubt we're staffing for late 2024 deliveries yet. We still have to take the the LATAM tails out of service for interiors. The 350K will show up on a mid/late 2025 AE. At best we will see a few more WB vacancies on a Feb AE with May training, then nothing but a trickle til June/July for September training.

Just to clarify, is this your prediction by 9/2025 per a previous wager?

Correct, but it is the high 5000s. However, Trip may be very well right with this prediction and it most certainly will be NYC 765A.
However, I feel the most intriguing prediction/wager will be will after 18 years, will Hockey44 finally be able to "HOLD" captain in Atlanta by the 9/2025 AE? I would've put some serious money on that one.
In fact I propose this: In recognition for his participation here on APC every week, and never failing to not complain, he should be awarded special treatment. Maybe hockey can get to pick his own BES and bid list number from this day forward.

10 years in and at 35%! That's pretty amazing and movement like that might never be seen again at Delta. I'm starting to think trip might be right also.

Trip's prediction is looking more and more likely in the next year or two, assuming things stay healthy in the industry. I wouldn't be surprised if the wall falls by next year at this time.
EDIT: I haven't even started training but before this bid even finalizes, two months after I'm on the line as a newly minted A330 Captain, I'll be better than 80% in the category 😉
