Judging from the current pilots bid for OCT-MAR, it MAY be that there are some 744 slots, the lowest guy with a successful bid is very close to the last unfrozen (out of 1st 5 yrs) pilot. The 777 has gone senior on the basis of 1 route transfer (this time next year we'll be millionaires bruv!) and the current unfrozen 777 guys keeping powder dry until MAR. Not sure about 75/76 again it goes pretty junior in terms of freezes so again a possibility. We have got to the stage now where well over 50% of 777/75 airbus and 73 guys are frozen so some out of seniority slots may be available.
(i'm 744 unfrozen P2 way too junior for command, will bid 777 should there be a large movement of routes)

The main route changes for the winter appear to be SIN/SYD to 777, extra DEL and BOM to 744. GRU to 4 crew and increase to 10pw all 744. NBO back to 744, YYC new on 777. There APPEARS at this stage to be much less 2 man E coast on the 74 for the winter as a result of above changes despite the loss of SIN SYD. But we'll wait for OCT bid pack i guess
