Final early retirement total stands at 164 pilots with the possibility of adding 2 more guys. Early intel shows 30 747 Capts and 11 747 FOs but the actual list won't be out until later next week.

if American Airlines places an order with Boeing or Airbus, or both companies, pressure will be on rival carriers in the United States to follow with their own orders to blunt the advantage American Airlines would gain from flying more fuel-efficient planes.

Apparently CQ bidding won't start until next month, which stinks because I could go in September when I have vacation, & now I can't stop them from putting it right against vacation.

That's like saying the Americans and Germans both gained a major foothold on D-Day.

IF 747 block hours stay consistent, couple those retirements with the 330A positions that went unfilled last bid, and we could have some nice upward movement next bid. Of course, lots of variables in play I'm sure.
