Before they rescinded 309 displacements, I'd estimated a high end of 2678 forced into NB seats - Displacement Bid 20-07D Some of the NB bases guys are bidding to are significantly different than my first guesstimate, here the current totals.

CLE - 39
DCA - 396
DEN - 325
EWR - 378
GUM - 16
IAH - 252
LAX - 202
ORD - 274
SFO - 349

Here's the part that's grim, we've hired about 2350 since 23 Jan 2016 (if you don't know why this date is significant, see 1-c-1-h). In his displacement announcement, BQ said "there should be enough information conveyed in this displacement for you to make informed conclusions". All by itself, this first displacement is setting us up almost perfectly to cut guys up to that hiring date. I've made an informed conclusion and am gonna throw up in my mouth a bit now.
Convenient, isn’t it? Odds are the SSC had a conversation with the company regards that section and that’s exactly why the numbers were adjusted down. Neither ALPA nor the company will tell you that, but that’s why.

Being that 30% of our list is around 4,000 pilots, considering what is going on, and how many analysts predict the recovery will play out, “only furloughing 2,300” could be viewed as an optimistic position. Furlough notices can go out in June for an October 1 effective date. From how I read the furlough section of the contract, none of those pilots would need to be trained according to a displacement award. Simply holding them at their current pay and then furloughing will be cheaper than training them. It will also free up slots at TK for those who will survive this cut. I don’t like how this is turning out, but this bid is definitely a pretty effective way to reduce quickly while adhering to the contract.

If the union found a good data point to convince the company to furlough less people, I'd say that is a good thing. Maybe I'm wrong but does the tone of your post imply it was inappropriate?

No one? There's always a few that embarrass the rest of us.

So as we see roughly 90% of bids are in and we have these cooked percentages shown with the snapshots, what are we do expect for bid 2? I’m currently showing around 35-45% on a variety of NB FO seats. Obviously those numbers are going to be slashed on displacement 2.

Is there any way to begin to formulate just how much of a slash these NB FO seats will see for bid 2? I haven’t paid attention to other seats with this bid but I imagine NB CA is also bloated with more CA’s than they know what to do with right? So with that said, those of us seeing 35% now on NB FO should plan to see another huge hit for bid 2 right? I’m expecting to get knocked down another 35-45%, which is starting to look like a best case scenario if I don’t get furloughed.

Would anyone else care to chime in to let me know if this is a reasonable outlook to have for what displacement bid 2 could look like?

I highly doubt it you will get furlough

The narrowbody numbers will presumably be slashed on Oct 1.

In the interim, there's no place else for the narrow body FOs to displace to. You get to make your own educated guess what your ultimate % will really be.

Future displacements will tweak the staffing in other categories.

You are correct... your current NB % is off by a lot... until they fix the remaining WB overstaffing in round 2 (like DCA for example) the NB numbers are wrong. Carlson isn’t going to publish a NB max number until he knows the number of furloughs (mid June?)... then they’ll fix the overstaffing with a combination of surpluses (Spread NB FOs to every domicile) and furloughs.

Divide the min/max # by your # in base could give a ballpark baseline. Assumining they furlough those those extras on the NB. It seems there are over and unders in all seats and ac up the list and how that shakes out in round two is unknown and to complicated for me to predict but I'd like to hear other thoughts.

To go beyond what we might be seeing on this displacement, they would need to displace yet more guys into NB seats (I think to include NB CA seats). I assume already there will at least be a small displacement after this one just to tweak the numbers. But, if there is a big displacement after this one hold onto your jockstrap. One positive thing to keep in mind is how easily large portions of this displacement could be reversed if things improve. LAX 787 CAs and FOs who bid into SFO will need little to no training if LAX 787 comes back within a year.

I haven't tried to figure out how many NB CAs we will end up with at the end of this bid. But, when the results come out it might be possible to estimate what comes next. For example, we currently have about 3100 Bus/737 CAs and 1032 of them are being displaced. If 400 displacees wind up as Bus/737 CAs, we'd be at about 2500 NB CAs. I assume the CO would want about an equal number of NB FOs.

Like Motch says, it really is too soon to tell how this will end up. But now you've got me thinking about how many guys might be displacing to NB CA....

P.S. Motch - Holy Schnikes! Reading your dissection of Mathteacher, remind me never to get on your bad side! Glad you are recovering.
