Just last week one of the Lead 777 LCA's told me we were going to lose another 15 Capts. and 15 of the 765 as well.

Glad to see he was wrong on both counts!

Oh, it said "210 days" in the preamble.
They opted not to. Tat was widely discussed and anticipated.

Hmmm......ATL DC-9 Captain.....

So how junior will that go? Who wants to bid equipment that will disappear soon only to get displaced next year.

If you are in to strategic bidding it makes sense. AE this and then MD in to a seat you have not been able get in to because there have not been any openings.

My guess is we will see another jet on DAL property before the 9 goes totally away though.

Very well could be. There may be a case for the 9 beyond 2013 by the looks of this AE.
