IF the 320 rumor comes true my guess is 10,500ish after the last bid closes. So end of 2013 hire.

That's what I thought when I upgraded in 2007...until I got downgraded in 2009.

Your dreaming on that one. Lots of senior guys that have been on the sidelines waiting. Will definitely be way closer to 9000.

I think he was referring to those in the top half of the seniority list. There are numerous reasons not to take a narrow body Captain bid. Family, quality of life, money, seniority, sanity are a few that come to mind.

Yup.

Folks should take a peek at the 50th percentile for each BES (base, equipment, and seat) to get a feel for the seniority distribution at the airline.

In contrast, the bottom 5% of each BES is “junior”—- both relatively and by definition.
