From Friday's update:

We plan to announce a displacement bid the middle part of next week. We expect to
displace 50 IAH 737 captains and announce the closure of the DEN 76T categories as
part of this bid. We will then analyze pilot movement before cautiously proceeding with
any additional action. As I announced on June 4, we are planning for two more
displacement bids in the IAH 737 categories following this one.

When all is said and done, Denver will be one senior base.

Unless they decide to grow one of the fleets, I would bet the jr Capt in Denver ends up being about 4000ish. Just a SWAG.

DEN needs growth right now. lots of opportunity for domestic markets on the 73/320, taking back of RJ flying, and even 787 long haul flights.

The junior Bus Captain in DEN is 4800 ish and every 76T FO can hold Guppy Captain, so certainly if you aren't in the top 5,000 you almost won't be able to hold Captain in DEN in a year.

If I've learned one thing after 18 years at good old UAL. If they can, they will, the more they can destabilize your life and the more miserable they can make your ability to do your job the happier they are.

There are already overstaffed with bus and 73 Captains, I think about 50 more bus Capts than FO's. If they don't grow, there will have to be massive secondary displacements to balance the seats. That is where I got the 4000 number from.
