I'm willing to bet most 744 pilots commute to DTW, and those that get displaced will end up commuting to another base to fly a wide body. I think the effect on the DTW base will be minimal.

Guess we'll see how many of those guys are west coasties. I'll probably end up with what I THOUGHT I'd get last AE
I'm not all that upset actually, commuting to reserve in LAX would probably be mucho expensive

Anyway, I don't think I am affected by this displacement group. Definitely the next. I was considering changing some things up anyway.

Since I don't see any ATL 7ER B slots on the AE, does that mean I can't move from NYC 7ER B to ATL 7ER B, or since people have been hired after me directly into ATL 7ER B, would it allow me to bump them?

Bid what you want, plain and simple.

Nope you don't get to bump anyone. You just need to wait for a ATL ERB to open up.

What is the master plan for the ER fleet? I see they are not backfilling positions on the ER this AE due to aircraft retirements but we just bought 10 more 75's for charters. Has the company put out a timeline for the retirement? If not who has a good crystal ball or even a WAG we can use to start the rumor mill?

Like Marcal said, bid what you want. I'm not totally sure how long they stay open as "vacancies" after posted, but there were dozens of unfilled spots on the ER and 73 system wide from the previous couple bids that arent reflected on this published list and that havent really been assigned to newhires either. For example- if you look at the vacancies posted in the 73 in SEA, SLC, and LAX there were dozens of unfilled FO spots over the last 2 bids, and only a handful of them have gone to newhires. I have no idea whether they will let guys into those prior vacancies or not, but it can't hurt to try.

They don't need to post openings for a position to open up through attrition. ATL 7ErB is a huge catagory. This bid has 200 Captain openings and 100 surpluses that are senior to most 7ERB pilots so 100 extra A openings after displacements will absolutely cause some ATL 7ERB's to bid off to Captain. The question that can't be answered is how many guys will leave, and then how many the company chooses to back fill. We aren't as short as DTW or NYC, but we aren't exactly fat on pilots either so I'd say some backfilling will occur. Put the bid in if that's what you want and cross your fingers. Good luck! I hope it works out for you.
