And I've only heard one 777 Capt., who will be 65 in March anyway, say he would take it. I'm sure anyone who is in their final 6mo. will take a hard look at it.
Anyone know how many of those guys (age 64.5+) are on the Whale today, and system wide? There's a few (5?) on the 777 in ATL, not sure about DTW 777.

There are 5 ATL 777As that turn 65 later this year. In 2015 there are 19 ATL777As and 3 DTW77As that turn 65.

My understanding is that the company won't displace any 744As until January, after the fence is down. Nothing requires that of course (they certainly could post a displacement bid prior to then) but I thought I read that somewhere.

In the event there are fewer than 25 B747 Captain Program participants, then the 25 most senior non-B747 Captains who properly apply will participate in the Program.
Looks to me that even if zero 747 captains retire, 25 .non-B747 still get the good deal

Won't happen with 757 retirements which will cause far more displacements/stagnation over the long haul.

With reserves thrown in the mix, and the need to cover out of base like we do now (more likely in a micro base) I think any savings would be negated. I also recall the justification made many times by crew resources that it's cheaper to DH crews than to establish a small base. So what's changed?

Hey, not to start a stampede to the DL Net, but some of the Oct. Capt. lines are available via the backdoor.
