I'm treading in the pool here.
What's the general take on the AE? Where are the openings and displacements?

There were 40 displacements for 747 Captains and 60 for FO's.
Net gain of 310 positions. It also appears the 747 has a increase in time in service. They had planned to have them all parked by 2017. Now they plan to fly 7 airframes through 2017.
It's a strong bid going into the winter flying. Hopefully bodes well for those in the pool.

I think some of your answer is unknowable without knowing from where every displacement eligible 744 pilot commutes.
FTB's grossly oversized picture makes my post microfiche.
Anyway, bid what you want, want what you bid is always correct.

Fail on FTB for posting a picture twice as wide as my screen. Underboob will cure your infraction.

Wonder if there was a TP?

Finally, I see where Delta has cancelled the retrofit of the latest Multiscan Radar into the 737 fleet. The new aircraft (and the new 321's) will come delivered with it, but the plans to retrofit are scrapped. I wonder if they'll be rethinking that now that we've had two major incidents with severe thunderstorm penetration. That new radar set is designed to warn of exactly this sort of threat. We were lucky on this one.
For those of you not familiar with the new radar technology:

Talked with some FA's on that flight. Scariest ride ever. Also said the right engine got hit by lightning, fire warning, etc., but not sure if that's true. Anyway, is there any good reason to fly through a thunderstorm? Aside from the pilots, what was the dispatcher's role in this?

That had to be a fun approach with those windshields!

Wonder if they were on the downwind side, if so how many miles. WXR2100 multiscan is an awesome radar.
