A potential widebody order, huh?
I'm going to add that I think this lends a little weight to the 747-400 rumor. Mainly, because it seems like they are talking about near term AE's to staff for the order.
Is there a chance we could take delivery of 777's within the next year or two?

It is not going to get better any time soon. I have heard from multiple sources that we are not far off from raising the retirement age again. What's another 2 years of stagnation + at least 1 more year of no hiring? It could be 2016 before we see any movement. 2019 to see any real movement.

From an earlier post by Sailing:
The union and the company both costed the jobs out at almost the same number. The company has looked at the contract and the coming FTDT changes and plans zero adjustments in how they man the airline.
You state we have lost as many as 1000 jobs. Where are the massive displacements to support your numbers? The last two bids had a substantial net increase in Captains jobs. The bid to be posted next month should have a net increase in Captains of well over 100 jobs. How do you explain that if your numbers are even remotely right? Put some numbers up, show us where you get 1000 or more jobs lost.
83 Net Captain positions with numerous NB aircraft on order. Glad that I didn't save the good champagne for this bid!
Pretty Lame
Scoop
Sailing and another guy from the Dalpa forum,Curly, are in the top 1000. They mean well but they are so out of reality...

Running some back of the napkin numbers I think the bloodbath is going to be worse than forecast. Without waterfall MD's 82 DTW F/O's get bumped out of base to either ATL or NYC. Of the 73 320/DC9 A's, according to my rep, only ~25 are commuters, so there is possibly 50 A's going to WB F/O and more waterfall MD's that will eventual land in ATL/NYC.
It's only a net loss of 30 pilots in DTW, but the demographics could cause a lot of mayhem system wide (on top of existing mayhem) I guess well have to see the SD/JG take on previously discussed future AE's negating MD's off this bid before training (color me skeptical)
Anyone want to take a guess how many lose their 8.5% pay raise?
